What should I get for suspension?

Heres the deal, Ive spent tons of $ putting this engine together (over $14,000 in the entire deal so far) and Ill be making around 500 hp at the wheels, and spraying with a 200 shot.

The car is a street car... and will be going on long trips... but I need the best suspension possible. I have NOTHING... no SFC, control arms, NOTHING!!

What all shoud I get? Looking to do front suspension first as I will be putting the engine back in soon.

M6 or auto? Did you try the search function? Some luck out and don't have to go the whole 9 yards, then again your pushing some serious HP.

Its not likely you will ever get the traction required to spray a 200-shot on the street, on top of a 500rwHP setup. If you never take it to the track, it almost seems pointless. Just try the basics... tubular LCA's with at least one rod end, LCA relo brackets, tubular panhard rod with at least one rod end, adjustable torque arm mounted to the chassis. Throw on some weld-in SFC's.

I figured all of that... and im not expecting traction on the street with the 200 shot... but it will see it on the track.

As far as which springs/shocks (since the k member is going in first) which should I run?

Ive figured out the other basics... but the springs/shocks is what Im getting all confused about.

The car WILL see the track... but it is a street car first and foremost.
