five grand on breaks and suspension

got the rims checked....turbo coming... and now i got 5 grand for suspention..... heres what i was thinking


BRAKEs:


PROJECT MU big brake kit $3400(4 piston) 4200 (6 piston)
ROTORAS $2200
STOP TECH $2200
GREDDY GREX forgot amount

SUSPENSION
JIC COILOVER ( and all jic suspention including struts.... end links.... basically everything jic made for suspension)
TIEN coilovers.....
AUTO EXE under carriage bars...etc....

i want to finish all the big upgrades by this year.....i still have little projects left.... like the custom veilside 350z widebody kit.... and my mcclarren doors.... so what do you guys think......im really leaning into the PROJECT MU big brake upgrade, just cause it'll be a rarity and of course more JDM......any suggestions will help......

Most of the gain in stopping performance will be from not having to truck around $5000 any more.

Oh, it's for a show car. Then just pick something that looks good.

Don't need that for the track so you can save your money.

For show, go ahead and waste your money/invest it I mean in what ever makes you happy.

paint the calipers and spend 5K on a kickass paint job or interior.

I forgot what magazine it was, but the Rotora brakes were tested on a car, and they stopped worse than factory. Also Rotora makes brakes for Greddy as well.
