let me know if you have any questions, i'd be happy to answer any that you have.

Here is a write up that was taken from GM High-Tech performance

[QUOTEI could have done laps all day and night. To date, the LSR Camaro is easily one of the most fun vehicles I have driven on this track. A surprising statement given that it only has a handful of (well chosen) upgrades. The LSR Camaro clicked off a 1:08.47 on our test track, easily 2 seconds faster than typical stock suspension ’10 Camaros and within 2-tenths of my own lightly modified ’05 Corvette Z51. Not to beat a dead horse, but on a small, tight track this is impressive stuff since there isn’t enough room for a heavier, more powerful car to gain any ground on the straight-aways or high-speed, long sweeping turns. On our 300-foot skidpad the Camaro’s grip was immediately apparent, and the numbers don’t lie--.976 Gs!

For your average Joe, LSR’s litney of upgrades are more than enough

Ok I have another question. After reading up on that link above I think I'm going to go with springs and sway bars to start me off. However I heard of the stock struts only last around 30-40K miles. I have nearly 50K miles so I was wondering if I should buy some more struts. I can get some pretty cheap take-offs from SLP on ebay.
