Which Suspension & Braking Kit??
I'll be supercharging my car soon, and seeing how i want a show quality, well-rounded dailydriver, i figured i needed to upgrade the other aspects as well.
I have absolutely no idea where to start when it comes to suspension, springs shocks struts coilover sway bars... somebody help me out, and set me up with a great handling combo?!
For braking i'll most likely be getting the GT500 braking kit. Since i will also be getting its take-off wheels.

Eibach, Steeda, Roush, and Ford Racing all have good lowering springs
Steeda has shocks and struts at decent prices, don't waste your money on the Tokico D Specs if it is a street car
At a minimum get an adjustable upper control arm and solid lower control arms - to prevent wheel hop and to re-adjust your pinion angle after lowering the car
A beefier rear sway bar
An adjustable panrod - to be able to center the rear end after lowering the car
J&M, Steeda, and BMR all make good quality parts at good prices

Very good idea with the brakes. As for suspension I would look for any type of complete kit. Steeda, Ford Racing, Saleen, Hotchkis, Maximum motorsports, and a few others are all good choices. You really could not go wring with any of them. BMR makes good stuff also. What you will mostly hear from others is their testimonials on only their suspension set ups. And they all would be correct. Find the best deal for you. Some places will even give you a discount for mentioning this sight. I recommend Lethal. DONT BUY FROM RPM OUTLET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

M-2005-FR3 for racing handling pack for the aggressive stance and more stable suspension. Also a MUST for any mods the will lower the car get a set of lower control arms and relocation brackets from CHE (carriage house engineering). I installed these on a Saleen Extreme and wow what a difference.
