I'd save the money on the garbage suspension by not purchasing it and buy yourself some good brakes.

Centric is a decent 'budget' brand.

If you want to get fancy you can get brembo rotors and some EBC pads.

I like Hawk HPS pads for the street. Relatively no noise and a noticeable improvement over most consumer grade/OEM brake pads.

For the rotors just make sure you buy quality. A good quality blank is a lot better than a cheapo slotted/drilled/whatever you find on eBay.

Stainless steel brake lines will give you a noticeably firmer pedal. So if that's something you want, look into those.

I like Hawk pads myself. and as Aradin said above, Quality blank rotors are better than ANY type of cheap rotor.

I found an OEM kit from Powerstop on Amazon for 140 for front rear rotors and pads they had a Slotted/drilled rotor set for 185 i believe. Its Powerstop so its a good product.

If i had any complaints it would be the no coating on hat, but the set I got was front rear rotors and pads with hardware. I cant say anything bad about customer service i originally received all rotors but only front pads once sent proof of purchase and such 3 days rear pads arrived. I believe i got acquainted with the name from the numerous auto repair shows and sponsors. EBC is really nice but the kit would cost as much as i paid for the car total. I can say the power stops are quiet and they stop my car.
