Here's my input, for what it's worth:

—Get better shocks. Koni yellows. You will thank yourself later.
—Don't get the Powerstop rotors, unless of course your stockies are warped. The EBC pads should be fine.

What model Sol do you have?

I have the si with 4 wheel discs forgot to mention i also already have an act clutch aem intake and strut bar oh and about the koni yellows i rode in a car that had them and a car that had the kybs and didn't notice enough of a difference for all that extra money. And about the rotors i am experiencing some brake fade so i wanted better cooling

You need to drive the car with Koni yellows. Hard. Adjust them. Drive it some more.

Then drive the KYB AGX'ed car.

You'll see the difference.

Good tires will be the second most impressive change you can make to a car for autoXing. Don't neglect that.

I just think the money could be better spent elsewhere.

They're not a bad or poor quality product from what I've seen, but fairly useless in a daily driver/weekend autoXer.

rotors are a "wear" item. Buy cheap ones.

looks good except for the powerslot rotors

waste of money. just get autozone rotors or brembo blanks. also id go with a better pad, like axxis ultimates or some hawk's

someone already touched on the KONI suggestion ill second it, koni owns.
