Default Next mods...suspension. Where do I start??

I'm making pretty good power with my 02 SS so I'd like to start working on putting the power to the wheels. Where should I start? Where should I finish? What all can I do to help put the power to the wheels and keep the wheels on the road. I don't want to lower the car. Other than that, I'm open to ideas!

Start with shocks. Koni SA or revalved Bilsteins are good choices. Work well with stock springs too. Sway bars next. Stop modding when you either get the car where you want it, or run out of money,which ever comes first!

Shocks and sway bars are the best place to start. You kinda need to know what you want to be in the end - drag, AX, RR, DD. Give Sam Strano a call before you spend any money. Can't wait to get started on my suspension upgrade!!

The car will be set up for the 1/4 mile, and the 1/4 mile only. Who is Sam Strano and what is his #?
