I am slowly trying to make my 69 Camaro handle better. So far I have got Hotchkis lowering springs, 12"front brakes, And big F/R sway bars. Currently I am working on finding an Iroc steering box and will do the Guldstrand mod when I do the steering box. But until then I am looking at getting new shocks. Right now the car has an Iron headed big block but I plan on swapping that out for a LS1/T56 in a couple years.

What would be some of the best performance shocks out there? I'm not as concerned about ride quality as I am with making the car handle the best it can. I want something that will work best with the LS1.

Also, any other suggestions on suspension upgrades?

my buddy has the hotchkis valved bilsteins on his 69' they are great. alot of people swear by them.

I have never heard of them. Are they adjustable? And who sells them?

Any other suggestions? What about Koni's or QA1's?

I have the Hotchkis/Bilstein's in the front, and soon in the rear to match up with my Hotchkis springs. I am very happy with them.

I did the Iroc Box, complete front end rebuild, Hotchkis Springs/Shocks and what a difference. Now on to the rear!

You can get your 92 IROC steering box at Autozone for $126. Then you will need the adapters and a new rag joint you can get from Lee's.

I plan on getting that box ordered in the next few weeks. I imagine that will be a HUGE improvement over manual steering.
