Default 69 Camaro suspension upgrade recommendations

looking to upgrade my complete suspension. Want good performance with a comfortable ride also. What’s out there? Have been told to look into Speedtech and ridetech. Anyone use these products?

I went with Global West upper control arms, a bigger sway bar, adjustable gas shocks and Del-A-Lum bushings in lower control arms. I kept stock style springs because I am satisfied with my ride height. The Global West upper arms address the inherent negative Camber gain in the original front suspension design and virtually eliminated bump steer. The car is set up for street and highway driving not road racing. Really nice comfortable ride with great handling. The advantage of the Global West arms is you can use them with coil overs if you choose in the future. I also installed a quick ratio (2.5 turns lock to lock) steering box. Great results for the investment.

Front Wheels: 17" X 8" with 4.75" backspace
Front Tires 245/40ZR17
Rear Wheels: 17' X 9" with 5.50" backspace
Rear Tires: 275/40ZR17

Fronts will rub at full turn. Had to add an 1/8" wheel spacer on one side of rear.
