Essentially the same suspension and/or mods as a rotary powered car. The weight and weight distribution is essentially unchanged from the rotary setup so nothing special or different has to be done to accommodate the engine swap.

For more info you might want to read this:

yep. Running similiar set up's on my rotary track car as I am/will be running on my LS1 track car:
-Tein Flex coilovers with EDFC
-Tripoint Sway bar with bronze bushings
-Widefoot sway bar mounts
-Stoptech brakes

Coilovers aren't the best in the world, but they are more than good enough for my level of driving. I just want more seat time... the rest will come with time.
