What parts do I need to upgrade my suspension, underbody chassis?

On my 88 IROC-Z 350 I'm looking to upgrade as much as I can on my suspension %26amp; shocks, etc.





I know I need bushings, shocks and other parts. For example, what kind of shocks does my IROC have? I think they're gas shocks? I'll post a few links here because I am finding things as I go for my suspension upgrade.

What are you wanting to do with your car? Suspension setups are diff for all types of useage, but the main prob on these cars are the thin weak stamped steel lower controll arms, pan hard rod and torque arm.





And the weak unibody design that flexes.
