Suspension Uprade??

I am looking to upgrade and replace my suspension on my 1985 Iroc. It is completley stock and in bad shape. I definetly need new bushings, shocks, struts and god only know what else.
I would like to know what would be some suggested replacement parts. Or what combinations some of you are using.

I would like to be able to drive the car daily, as well as drag race and autocross on occasion.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Definately bushings, also replace the Lower Control Arms and Track Bar with aftermarket parts. I don't recomend the Edelbrock, because they are kind of pricey for what you get. Be sure to use good shocks and struts like Koni or something. Also do a brake job while your down there and have everyting apart.

I have an 85 IROC. I replaced the front sway with a hollow 36 mm bar (mycbar already had the matching solid 24 rear). I used GM 1LE poly end links and higher durometer bushings. Beefed up the wonderbar with a Global West version. Global West SFCs, Spohn LCAs and panhard. Poly tranny and torque arms mounts. The ride is firm without being harsh.
