A couple suggestions...
I hate Stillen. most of their products that I have seen have a poor fit or are junk. IMO STAY AWAY FROM STILLEN>
And you can also get a better clutch for cheaper. Check out Clutch Maters and ACT.

BRAKES:
- ditch the slotted rotors, they don't do anything for a street car
- you can get better pads for cheaper (check out http://www.carbotecheng.com for carbotech, hawk, and axxis ultimate pads)
- stainless lines not needed for a street car (if you really want them, get the neuspeed ones cuz they have a protective sheath around the stainless braids)
SUSPENSION:
- ditch the DC bars and get something else for cheaper (Skunk2 makes a good, beefy bar for $140, and there's others for less)
- get a good spring/shock or sleeve-coilover/shock combo (spring suggestions: eibach, neuspeed, H&R, 5zigen.....sleeve coilovers: ground control, skunk2......shocks: koni yellows, kyb agx)

Re: What should I start with? (Triple_R)
for that kind of loot i would get a motor swap($2500 B16A+DIY labor+$66.00 Helms), some suspension($800-$1000), and some good brake pads(EBC green stuff). Keep the stock paint lob and invest in some good Meguiar's wax.
