My clutch is going to be replaced as that went, but my brakes and exhaust need to be replaced as well. My Flowmaster has rusted pretty badly, so I'm thinking of going with a stainless steel catback to hold up to NY road conditions. I'm thinking of trying to pick up a used Borlacat back from LS1tech.com. Does anyone think this is a bad idea? I'm torn between something loud and something quiet. My taste changes from day to day. I figure an adjustable Borla cat back would be the way to go and there's no chance I'm shelling out $800 for a new set up. Even Magnaflow is charging over $500 for their cat backs now.
First and foremost though, my brakes need to be replaced. When it rains, my brakes barely stop the car. I'd imagine water collects between the rotor and brake pad. How much is it going to cost me to do this upgrade (fronts only), plus where can I get the parts from? Would I see a significant difference in braking power from changing to braided steel brake lines?
I guess I should turn my attention to my suspension after this. Anyone want to throw some ideas out as to what I should change first? I'm guessing springs and shocks? I'm thinking of ordering this from Spohn (300# spring rate)-

Will this show a dramatic improvement over stock?
Thanks in advance. I finally have a full time job, so I'm starting to get some money together. When I stop with upgrading shot stock parts, I hope to go with some bolt ons. Namely headers, gears and a tune.
