BIG upgrade plans for my 84!!!!

Hi,
I want to upgrade my stock 84 camaro z28.
I want to use this car for fast streetracing, making sharp corners and stuff like that.

So, it must be very stiff and low.

I want to buy 4 205/50/15's on my 15x7 inch iroc wheels, i know those tires are very low, but it can compensate the tall rearend (3.08)

( i want some shorter gears (th350), thats why i wanna swap my tires for those 205's)

SFC's are in my program, same goes for the stiffer lower control arms ( ill make them myself)

So, i need some stiff and low springs/shocks.

i dont care if they can be adjusted or not (although adjustable is very handy, isnt it?)

i allready got a new exhaust, with shorty headers and a 3inch exhaust with no cat.
305ci with performer intake and 600cfm edelbrock perf. carb.

I want to build a 383 coughing out 500hp/tq, so thats covered.

What springs/shocks do you think i can buy best? the stiffer the better and im not very rich, so i dont want to pay for the name but for the performance!

thanks

A better approch would be some 235/55/15 tires with a 3.42 or 3.73 rear plus a manual either t-5, t-56, or tremac. Those tires are so small. Eiboch springs are probably your best bet for springs.
