I'm fairly positive the rear will just be a new set of leaf springs. would adding a pair of shocks be a good idea?

would the stock front suspension be adequate? do they make brake upgrade kits? I'd like to be able to use the whole camaro rack and pinion front suspension, but I imagine that would take some fabrication and it's not really necessary...i'd at least like to use the disc breaks or similar disc kit. How about lowering kits for the stock front suspensions...blocks, etc? The stock
4x4 look won't fly for the overall "slightly" modified look of the car

Thanks a lot for the help so far.
