Default Which suspension upgrades?

I just traded for a 93 z28 with a full forged 383 stroker, and it should be making at least 400rwhp once we get it tuned. The suspension and rear end are all stock, all it has is the built motor, built trans, and aluminum driveshaft. What do you guys recommend I do to accommodate all that power?

I was checking these out...

What do you think?

have a look at what sam strano has and if your going to use his products give him a call and let him know what you have and what you want to do. sam is very good at setting up a good suspension. http://www.stranoparts.com/searchbymodel.php?ModelID=2
i am more than happy with the setup i got from him. the koni shocks and struts work great.
i would recomend using a place like spohns and not ebabe. you will want these.

I'll probably end up going with spohn for the little extra cash, just because everything is chrome moly. Do we get any kind of deals or discounts from the camaro forums?
