Default My Plans...what do you think?

Here is the future plan for my R that will occur over the summer. Engine will remain basically stock except for maybe another CAI of some sort.

Mugen Lowdown Suspension with the 26mm bars front and rear.
Upgraded front disks (unsure as of now).
Upgraded pads..again. Most likely Porterfield R4S or Endless Blues.
Stainless steel brake lines. Motul Brake Fluid.

I've thought alot about engine mods, but it seems for me to get any noticeable gains I'm going to have to spend alot of cash and even then I'm still not going to be that fast. Since our cars are incredible handling and braking wise as they are, I think that improving upon those attributes would be more worth while. Oh and these things will be done in a few months as long as my job comes through which it almost certainly will. This is not a wish list. Your opinions would be appreciated.

If you get both the front and rear 26mm sway bars, the car is going to be very neutral. Maybe even too neutral. Might want to just get the rear 26mm bar...

I think most people on here will tell you that the stainless steel brake lines don't help much (if at all).

Makes sense about the bars since I will be able to tune the front. Isn't neutral exactly what you want though?

Brake lines would be to increase driving pleasure for me even thought they technically don't decrease stopping distance.

Depends...in a FF car, a slight tendency to oversteer will potentially make you faster. Provided you know how to handle it properly.
