Default Part suggestions...LONG...

I have decided I'm going to be stripping down my car to nearly a rolling chassis, and start over again the right way. I've decided on most of the parts, but there are a few I'm undecided on. I want you suggestions for each function:

Suspension:
1) Shocks: I would like Tein coilovers(or Zeal B6, Apexi, or HKS), but I'd like a more economical suggestion for the time being...Koni Yellows with Skunk2 or GC coilovers? I'm looking to really slam it.

2) LCA's: SSR? I'm not sure if they make them for the 5gen coupe. Any other LCA's I should consider?

2) Roll bar: ??

3) Tie bar: ??

4) Camber kit?

5) Other suspension mods I should consider???

Braking:
1) I need to get a GSR disc swap. Where should I look for the complete setup?

2) I would like to get the Wilwood "big brake" kit for the F & R, but I'm thinking the AEM Big Brake kit, with Project U pads, and Goodridge SS lines should be fine?

3) Any other braking sugestions? Rotor size? # of pistons for each caliper? Pads? Lines?

Wheels:
1) I want a set of 16" wheels. I would like a set of JDM wheels(something like Work, 5Zigen, Gabb, Volk, or Rota's). I am looking for suggestions. I'd like them to be either all bronze, or black with polished lip. I am willing to spend a nice amount on these. They are going to need to last me a while.

Exhaust:
1) I have a d16 right now, but am planning on swapping in a b18C1 soon. My current muffler is WAY too loud and has an annoying buzz to it. Is there a muffler I can get that will transfer over to the B18? I was thinking of building up one of 2.25 mandrel bent piping, and throwing on a HKS or Apexi universal exhaust. Suggestions?

I think thats as far as I'm going now. I will be posting more as I get to the exterior, interior, and motor work.

Thanks alot!
Spike
