Default I know nothing about suspension

Hey guys I was thinking of doing some suspension mods in the near future. I know nothing about suspension though and was wondering if there were any kits that had the main parts to a complete suspension setup. Also, I have a feeling that possibly some suspension work was done to my car before I owned it becuase of my great launches (although I do have 295's), but how would I tell? Thanks guys.

go under there and take a peek.
the stock coil springs are black. any aftermarket ones will most likely be colored.
also the control arms are 3way boxed, stamped steel. aftermarket control arms will most likely either be tubes, or completely closed boxes.
