Default Riding Again!!

I have a 92 GT that sat in my garage for 9+ years due to I ran out of money to get it to run right. It has a DSS 306, TFS stage one heads from Panhandle performance, S-Trim with Anderson Motorsport, AFM B-31 cam, Texas Turbo Long tube headers, GT-40 intake, 3.73 gears. I took the car to Fastlane in Houston Texas to get it up and running for me. They changed from 36 to 42 lbs injectors, I had to 2 crimped pig tails on the harness, replaced them, replaced the belt, discarded the T rex fuel pump as well as the one in the tank. Using a 255 in the tank. Changed all the fluids, replaced the factory radiator with a late model Camaro radiator and it helps to keep the temps in check. On the dyno it made 377hp up to 5200 rpm and the springs started to fail. Since I was home from Iraq for a short time I drove the car home and will have the springs replaced before my next return home. I am now in search of an all wheel 5 lug brake kit as well as perhaps utilizing a Maximum Motorsports setup. Just wanted to know if any has experience with MM and which one would be a good one to use. Is there a reasonable brake conversion that I could get for it as well? Even though the car was built with technology that's over nine years old it looks like I am still going to have fun with it. Thanks all for your comments on this matter!
