Many questions about suspension and brake setup for my car.

Its a 98 LS1 camaro. Like i have said in other post, i am looking to have a new forged engine installed and a turbo system. MAybe drive around town at 500 Rwhp mostly. Once in a blue moon, take it up to 750 Rwhp at the track. Its most garage kept, but i am looking for good stopping power.

So making that kind of power, what suspenion mods would i need? I know things like sub frame connecters, K member, Control arms, torque arms, etc, but which companies are reliable or dependable for the power i am looking to make.
As Far as braking, what do i need to upgrade to? Should i just replace the rotors and pads? And whats the difference with cross drilled vs. slotted
I just want to make the car have a safe setup.
And lastly, is there anything that i should have installed while they take the engine out of the bay and before they put the new engine in? I heard a K member, but any other suspension mod?

thanks for the responses.

Re: Many questions about suspension and brake setup for my car.

check out these websites and give them a call, let them know what your setting up:

www.koni-na.com - Koni adjustable shocks

www.spohn.net - torque arm, control arms & related components

www.baer.com - gt plus calipers & rotors

When it comes to Drilled, I think of Drag Racing. As for Slotted, I think of on and off the track type of street setup. Blanks, I think of Street driving. Hit up Baer techie staff.

These contacts should give you some ideas.
