Question Suspension upgrade?

Okay, so far, my Firebird is 100% stock parts. And now I am looking to upgrade. I dont know enough about suspension to know for myself if I need to buy some aftermarket suspension to handle all this new power. Anyways, I wish to purchase the following:

Cold Air Induction (ram air)
K&N Filter
Pulley Kit
Thermostat
Borla 3" Cat Back
Air Foil
Programmer
High Flow Bellows
Valve Cover Breather

I am assuming I would need a suspension upgrade. However, like I said, I dont know enough about it. Braking upgrade would probably help stop all this new power too... anyways, I need to know what else I need besides that stuff to keep my car safe. Thanks.

You don't HAVE to upgrade your suspension based on the mods you want to do. However, suspension upgrades on their own are desirable. Being a '95 like mine and depending on the mileage you may want to replace the shocks and struts (upgrade them to an SS/Firehawk with Eibach springs and Bilstein shocks) - I'd add bigger sway bars before anything.

What's your budget?? If you've got the coin get a stronger torque arm for the rear end.

Oh yes,

if you've got T-tops you should really look into subframe connectors - thats something I wish I would have done before my tops started leaking buckets.
