Default Need some good advice

I'm looking to replace my rotors, pads, struts, and springs and I was hoping that you all would be so kind as to give me some good ideas on what to purchase. I'm not looking for race track perfomance, but I am looking for something to stand up to alot of 75+mph driving(interstate)as well as day to day driving. I am also looking to purchase a ground effects kit soon after(no sure which one yet), so what do you all recommend. The parts are for a 94 Accord LX 4dr sedan.

AEM Pads most will tell you thats the way to go...as for rotors there is debate as to what to use i.e. Powerstop, Brembo, AEM, Ractive, Power Slot... If you do't have strut bars, I'd consider Neuspeeeds.

for rotors i'd suggest brembo blanks, or slotted, as far as pads, i'd suggest, as intrepid stated, the AEM nissin pads. and while you're at it may as well invest in some new brake lines for a more firm feel on your brake pedal. as for shocks and springs, it's really personal preference. with the springs, how much of a drop are you looking for? with a body kit, as you said i'd suggest going no more than a 1.5" drop as you'll eat up the new kit with daily driving any lower. as for shocks/struts, most people will recomment koni yellows or agx kyb adjustables. the agx shocks are cheaper and will work just fine for a 1.5" or less drop. again it's all just personal preference.

hope this helps.

rotors = brembo blanks or slotted
pads = aem

these are 2 parts where going OEM doesn't really matter. oem pads are waaaaay too expensive.
