Default Need suspension advice

Okay guys brand new on the forum although I have been reading it for quite a while and I'm looking for some advice on a suspension kit. Give you some background. Its an 84 with 85 front spindles. I'm going to run an automatic, the car is not being built to be a beauty queen just a decent looking pointy nosed bullet! it will probably end up on the autocross course, a few open track days, but mainly it's being built to run in the open road racing out here in the Midwest. my plan for the car is:
-383 up front with 453 and 440lb ft with another just race
motor in the 420 cube range with not less than 575
-Tci super Street fighter 700 trans n converter
-swap in a Dana 44 rear for the 36
-18" rims with 275 and 305s or 315s
-Either C5 brake upgrade or SSBC three pistons n a DRM
brake bias spring or other adjustable bias setup
-And a full suspension rebuild.
the suspension is what I am currently working on and I am NOT looking to reinvent the wheel but to take the stock chassis and step it up with better bolt on parts. what I'm looking at buying is the Vette brakes and products extreme package. That way everything is upgraded yet fits all the stock mounting points. My question is does anyone have any experience with this kit or are there better kits available out there where I don't have to mix and match and when it comes to my doorstep everything is setup to pretty much work together for what I am planning to do with it. Thanks for any help.
