Default Need help: ls1 suspension on lt1 car?

Hey guys im wanting to upgrade the WHOLE suspension on my car I have a 94 z28 with an lt1 cloned to an ss. What i was wondering is will the ls1 suspension fit on an lt1 car and is it better or actually probably what i was wanting to know what would be the best suspension for my money this is going to be a street car but I am expecting to build up my lt1 and it should have around 400-450 rwhp when im done. I really dont know much about the suspension for these cars as in knowing which ones are the best/ best for your money. Keep the lt1 suspension? or get an ls1 suspension or some kind of corvette suspension, gto, cts-v ect. Any imput would help my suspension is getting old and i replaced the suspension on my old camaro so i know im capable of doing it and i will be doing all the work myself.

Thanks in advance,
Chance

What part of the suspension are your wanting to replace/upgrade? All the suspension parts between ls1 and lt1's are interchangable, not much of an upgrade. Corvettes, cts-v, etc. have different suspension parts, not interchangable. Buying good aftermarket suspension parts would be best.
