Default Time to upgrade suspension..whats needed

I plan on doing a 500 rwhp build shortly, and know the suspension def needs some attention to control it. I have a 98 z28 with 90000 miles, so the parts are 12 years old to begin with, and im sure most should be replaced. Im just looking at whats necessary. Ill do a few runs at the strip a year, but it will be an everyday driver. I will be running 295 width z06 rims also.I kinda would like it in the following format:

Whats necessary to hookup:


Whats necessary steering wise:


Whats optional/what should be considered:



Thanks a lot guys

I said it in my post, A 1998 camaro z28 M6 with 90000 miles, primarily used as an everyday driver with a few passes at the track thrown in.
