With your bone stock SS your absolute first modification should be alignment. The factory aligns to a broad green range to a rather numb set of specs. Find a quality alignment shop and align to these specs.
Front Camber -1.00
Front Toe 0.00
Rear Camber 0.00
Rear Toe IN 0.10
Rear Total Toe 0.20
You SS will feel like it should have felt when delivered new. For your track day change out the OE brake fluid. Have your Chevy Dealer do a complete flush using the Tech II or USB tool to cycle the ABS pump.

While the tech is doing the brake fluid have him / her check your pads and rotors. You want a minimum of 60% pad and rotor to hit a road course. Change your engine oil and your SS is ready for your track day!
As you progress, you have so many options available. Foundational Bushes and an upgrade to Z style bars would be next. Depending on how much you enjoy the track event you may go even deeper into your suspension. THE Book for the 5th Gen Camaro will help you develop a solid upgrade path.
