Default Question about a suspension setup?

I have Bilstein shocks and eibach springs but they are worn out... So before I throw in the motor I need to do an upgrade here. It is so difficult piecing everything together, my question is do they make a complete kit for suspension for a 4th gen z28? or if there is a cheap setup like doing the things that matter the most

Sounds good...

So ok before I put my motor in and break stuff.... what would I need for like 650 Horse to the wheels, what stage and stuff...

I need some direction in all this like for front and rear suspension and chassis... I might as well do my steering setup as well

Hello
For your specific set up everything I suggest is below and why.

I would suggest a single adjustable lower control arm and pan hard bar kit (part # 201621). To not only maintain a good ride quality by still having the poly bushing on the chassis side. But you have a rod end that will hold up on the axle side. And for 650 HP I would look into a aftermarket rear. And these control arms will work with that rear as well.

I would also suggest a set of lower control arm relocation brackets. To allow you adjust the lower control arm back to the correct position. Which will increase your traction performance and eliminate wheel hop.

http://www.umiperformance.com/catalo...8s3fqs1ldidi91

I would also suggest a set of SFC's as well to make the vehicle more solid and eliminate the flexing and keep the dimples off of the rear quarters.

http://www.umiperformance.com/catalo...8s3fqs1ldidi91

And depending on what type of driving you are going to do with it depends on what torque arm I would suggest. And if you decided to go with a full length are for the street and strip combo and still maintain factory drive quality I would recommend going with a relocation cross member.
