For suspension Subframe Connectors, adjustable panhard rod, lower control arms, relocation brackets, Eibach Pro Kit will drop your f-body roughly 1.5 up front and rear Don't know about the Bilsteins
Shock Tower Brace helps tighten up the front too

The most important aspect to getting your f-body to handle better is shocks. Factory shocks are the weakest point of the suspension. The best are Koni SA shocks, which can handle almost any spring you can throw at it. A decent option is Bilstein HD shocks. They'll work great with stock springs, but they're not optimum with aftermarket springs.

I'm not too familiar with the Bilstein package in particular, but I'm sure it wouldn't be bad.

After shocks and springs, you might look towards subframe connectors and a larger front swaybar.
