Here you go, for $199 for front and back.
10323434 – Front Bar 10339124 – Rear Bar 10387838 x 2 – Front Insulators (bushings) 15241135 x 2 – Rear Insulators (bushings)

As for the poly bushing upgrade, keep in mind if you go with them, you will need to keep them greased of they will be squeaker to really drive crazy (read rubber bushing are fine).
For the shocks, go with Bilstein sports shocks from someone like tirerack is GM parts does not have them for cheaper. The are pretty much a match for the factory Z-51 shocks, but the sports reduce wheel hoop a touch better than the factory shocks.
$82 a shock,

For brakes, you just need the larger Z-51 rotors, and off set brackets for the existing calipers.

Note,, the stock factory Z51 rotors are drilled, and if you are going to be doing hard tracking, then go with slotted instead of drill rotors instead. You will still need the off set caliper brackets, but you can get a set of slotted rotors here for around the same price as factory rotors.

Short of that, then you have the trans oil cooler that needs to be added, and the dif. gear reduction gearing for the full Z-51 change over.

i went on ebay and found a few front springs, but i dont know which one to get since they dont tell you where that spring is coming from.
So i still need the part # for the front spring, does anyone know this?

There are part numbers in here but you'll have to decipher specifics. You want the FE3 spring:

And just for info, your base rear spring is actually slightly stiffer than the Z51 rear spring.
