Suspension Kits
There are lots of them out there. I would like to upgrade the factory suspension with Bilsteins.
There are some spring kits out there. Are there any kits that you guys would recommend using or warn against?
I am not going to do slalom but I would like to feel comfortable taking on curves while giving it the gas.
I have a 68 convertible with a 468, 4spd.
Thanks.

I bought the Street & Slalom suspension from VanSteel. Blistein Sports, 550# front coils, and 360# composite on rear. I love the improvement in ride and handling. I felt it was best cost/performance for my budget.

I didn't purchase a kit, I piece-mealed my together, but it sounds alot like Jay71's. I bought the Grand Touring front coil springs from Eckler's (rated at 460 ft/lbs), Bilsteins all around, and a composite rear spring.
