Im digging your suspenshion setup, that sounds like a perfect plan. What linear springs though. However I would like to get away from the stock brakes completely. Any idea on what bbks are priced relatively well. Ive seen the willwoods around new for around 2500 or so.
These are the brake kits im looking at what do you think?

I cannot, in good faith, recommend any of the BBK kits to you. I could go into the overall effectiveness (or lack thereof) of some of the (most of the) kits, but it is tiresome. Just know that the braking distance will likely be longer with a BBK kit than simply doing what I suggested.
BBK kits sell for so much $ because of the bling factor. That is all.

Im going with a bbk, for two reasons. My stock brakes look like a$$ behind my rotas, and I have easily faded out my stock brakes and dont want to do it again. Almost cost me my license, or atleast some huge ol fines.Im pming you right now.

Asthetics are the main reason that the BBK kits are so expensive.

You can get a great look and awesome stopping if you get some slotted (only slotted, no drilled) rotors, paint your calipers, and add some Hawk HP+ pads. Stainless steel braided brake lines, Motul dot-4 fluid. No moar brake fade
