Would you upgrade brakes and suspension for that amount? Maybe. If you were dialing in a suspension for a specific track. Necessity? No.
Don't forget Lapkritis, the 50lbs difference is a comparison between the 951 and all the turbo accessories to the GMV8 and all accessories. There's folk out there putting the V8 in the na which is about 100-200lbs lighter than the 951 depending on the MY. iirc an LS1 in an early na adds nearly 200lbs to the cars weight. Definitely need to work the suspension and brakes in that case.
