Default Suspension setup for 74 Firebird.

Well I have been lurking here for some time now and have admired alot of rides. So now is the time that I need some help with some decisions on my old bird. A little on the history, I bought the car for $1800 in 95 after highschool with the original 250 straight 6 and 3spd sag. with the intentions of swapping to a 350.....well I joind the army a few months later and put the car in storage. Thats where shes been for the last 10 years. I finally got her to my house now, so here is the plan:

Hopefully soon I will have the LS2 and 6spd in it. Once the bugs are worked out of the EFI I plan on twin charging it, but this is a whole other affair....lol.

The suspension is where I am not sure on what to get. I want the car to handle like its on rails as well as really be able to hook at the track as it will see plenty of track time, and not be a kidney crusher on the street. I know this might be asking a bit much but I figured this is the best place to find out what works and what doesnt.

I am currently on my second tour here in Iraq so I have had nothing but time to think about finally getting my bird back on the road. So any and all advise from the members here is greatly appreciated.
