Need help!!

I recently just bought a 1995 Camaro z28 w/ just over 152k miles.. I just had the brakes replace and now I'm looking to spend money on suspension.. I'm trying to figure out where I to start looking for stiffer shocks and what would be some good brands to purchase? Also I want tighter handling and I've been looking into Spohn performance a arms.. Would those help with that? If not is there anyone that someone could recommend? I'm open to any and all suggestions thanks!

Re: Need help!!

The most productive changes for a car intended to go around corners, as opposed to a "drag" suspension for straight line traction, will be:

-upgraded springs and adjustable shocks
-larger front and rear sway bars
-subframe connectors
-stickier tires
-tubular rear lower controls arms with spherical bushings
-tubular panhard rod (adjustable is vehicle is lowered)
-tubular adjustable torque arm, with chassis mount

The tubular front a-arms are primarily intended for weight reduction, as is a tubular K-member.

Here's a great site for 4th Gen F-Body suspension upgrades oriented toward improved handling:
