Default Need advice on suppension package

I want to update my suspension on my big block 69 vert. I don’t plan on racing it but want it to handle like it is on rails without jarring your teeth loose. The frame is off the body and all components are removed. I have double offset trailing arms from Van Steel and now need to decide on a suspension package. I am looking for feedback on the three packages I am considering.
They are:
Advanced Street & Slalom
Performance Plus
Street & Slalom

Thanks in advance

street and slalom was a good bang for the buck i almost went with performance plus but decided against it due to the extra space the front spring takes up . you can still jack from the center its just more difficult besides the price im not sure where your from but if you hit road kill late at night it might leave you stranded with a snapped front spring.
