Need Suggestions - Suspension Setup (what 2 buy?)

I am getting ready to replace my suspension. I have a 383 Stroker motor getting ready to go in, and I want to upgrade my suspension the same time as the motor goes in. I already got a new set of 17" 10 spoke SS Wheels and an Eibach Pro-Kit. I know I need new shocks. I dont know what to get. I have around 600 to spend on the suspension. This car will go to the drag strip a few times a year, but besides that it will be mainly street driving. I want great cornering out of it, I know that and I dont care about how much it gets lowered. Can someone tell me what I should do first for my setup. I know shocks...but not which brand. I hear HAL are good and the Bilstein HD's. Any suggestions would help. Also if you suggest something can you leave me a site to go to and order it from.

Thanks.

If i were you, i would give Sam Strano a call. He can tell you your best setup based off of what you already have and what you want to do.

Call Sam, I have the Koni/Bilstien and 35mm. You won't beleive it is the same car!! The way it handles, you will swear you changed the springs by the way it rides. He also sells revalved bilsteins the the konis are too rich for your blood.
