I'm looking for a new set of brake rotors to replace the OEM front and Rear. I want the replacement to be Drilled slotted. I don't necessary need expensive ones at the moment. This replacement is specifically for a better look.

The spark plugs and ignition are not really things that are a priority in modding. Sure it does help a lot but use your stock stuff first and let those run its life before you buy others...its more of a maintenence upgrade.
What are you trying to achive through modding. Better looks, sound, performance?

...CRH...coming in to one up me huh....but ya that guy knows what he is talkin about. I guess in other words what I was trying to say...dont buy it as a performance mod in mind (even though it does perform better) but as a reliability mod.

At the moment I'm leaning on BHR ignition setup, SRmotorsport pulleys, and Greddy SP2 catback exhaust. I already have an AEM intake and Tanabe GF210 springs. If you guys know what is better for the car then please enlighten me. Thank you.

"better" is always dependant on what it is you want to improve and what it is that you do with the car. For example out of all the spring options, some are "better" for track, some "better" for street, some "better" for show, and others aren't "better" at anything.
Improving reliability, you are making a decent start with the BHR ignition, but I would also add the ReMedy water pump and thermostat as well. If you are in a hot climate, upgrade the radiator as well. An AccessPORT will allow you to turn on the fans earlier as well, among other things. It is a tool though, not a solution, how well you use the tool is up to you.
I also think a midpipe is a reliability enhancement, after seeing what a failed cat did to my 8.
The midpipe and AccessPort are also the 2 biggest performance enhancers short of forced induction.
Pulleys aren't going to be doing much for you, if anything. I wouldn't waste the cash. I've never seen any proof that they do anything but spend your money for you.

No because I'm new to this. All I know is that I would like the car to perform above average, sounds great, and looks good, but not sacrificing too much reliability.
At the moment I'm leaning on BHR ignition setup, SRmotorsport pulleys, and Greddy SP2 catback exhaust. I already have an AEM intake and Tanabe GF210 springs. If you guys know what is better for the car then please enlighten me. Thank you.

What do you got in mind as far as looks go?
