Default Best suspension upgrade for a 2000 hardtop?

Looking into buying a hardtop here in the new future. The car will be a daily driver and I am sure I'll be fixing up the suspension and maybe doing heads and cam when the money comes around. What are your opinions for a good suspension to replace the stock with. The z06 bars and springs with the hotchkis end links or what?

Thanks,
B

I'd just go with OEM Z06 parts. $850 for both springs, $230 for both swaybars and metal endlinks. $1000 for some non-runflat tires. $860 for 4 koni single adjustibles.

Wait till you get the car before you talk about modding the suspension. I think you'll be suprised.
