Nice new lightwieght red calipers would be nice, what would you recommend ?[/quote]

I'd recommend what Bbasso suggested, get new pads, brake fluid and maybe some stainless steel lines, and replacement rotors if your current ones are worn. Really though, if you're just gonna be driving around on the steet and commuting a brake upgrade isn't gonna do anything for you, except look cool. In fact if you don't drive the car hard the stock pads and everything alse should be all you'll need, just replace them if they are worn. The stock brakes are actually very good and upgrading them for some aftermarket brakes won't make the car stop any faster, it really just makes them more fade resistant, which you are only gonna need if you're an experienced driver on a road course. Also, most of the upgrade kits out there require you to get larger than 15" wheels so you'd probably have to buy wheels and tires as well. There are some threads in the Road/Race section that talk about good pads, stainless lines and the like, check that out if you're interested.
