Default Track Upgrades

Hey guys, had another track day last week and feel like I need some track mods to the car.

1. Brakes: Didnt experience any serious fade, put the initial bite is started to wane after my 4th 30 min session, I dont ride the brakes when going into a turn, but still felt like I needed a little better bite. Question is since car is a DD as well, Im looking for both street and track performance.

2. Suspension: The cars body roll was a little to unpredictable, so i want to get sway bars and some lowering springs and maybe some better shocks, but the cost of all this compared to coilovers with sway bars is like a $200 difference.

For the brakes was just looking at getting better pads, some ss lines, and some spare rotors, or should i upgrade to a bbk?

For the suspension, the question is should I go either or?

Now plans for the car will be to become a weekend track car once the baby comes (still got the beater honda accord), so should I just go straight for the major upgrades or are they not needed to have a good track car.

checked all these threads with no substantial info:

So can you guys provide anything else for me to look at or your expertise on this subject. feel free to flame, I will still take into consideration your opinion.

Did you click on the links on the first post of the first thread? The track pad database is pretty good.
