Suspension/brakes suggestions please...

[1bad04GT]

I have an '04 GT 5 spd. w/o ABS and traction control. I want to buy a really good brake kit to improve braking as much as possible. I also want to make the front and back brakes match. not necesarily size, but overall look. Are the cobra kit swaps any good? Also, I have Eibach sportlines on the way. What other suspension mods should I do? I'm all about straight-line acceleration but I like to hit the curves hard too. Budget is $1000 or less. Sorry but August 29th = broke college dude. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

full length sub frame connectors and some quality shocks and struts. ck out maximum motorsport.
For brakes, the Cobra kits are awesome.

well first of all sportlines and straight line well, to put it bluntly...sucks, bad. trust me thats what i have and now im am swapping them out for drag launch. the sportlines are to low for me and i scrape everything. but for brakes bear makes an awsome kit for front and back for around $1000 all together. all the rotor are 13" and can be bolted on in a couple of hours. heres a pic of mine.

Sportlines=stiff. So then weight transfer goes to hell and you won't get any launching traction.
