For the shocks I think i'm going to go with bilstein

SLP Camaro & Firebird Optional Bilstein Shocks Package (1993-2002) | eBay


and umi front and rear sway bars

UMI Performance 211213-R - UMI Performance Solid Front and Rear Sway Bar Kits - Overview - SummitRacing.com


Does anyone have any suggestions for me as far as other upgrades to do, or what other brands to choose? I am really just looking to get my suspension ready for autocross without sacrificing too much ride comfort as this is my daily driver.. any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

SFC's made a noticeable difference in my car, and you wouldn't think they would be important for a hardtop-

Surprised that your SLP car didn't come with Bilsteins. If they are there, they have a lifetime warranty.

We are pretty proud of our 3 points. They tuck up nicely and really tie things together.
