Ok, so I think I'm gonna order the Hawk ceramic pads and powerslot rotors from American Muscle... I was also looking at the Eibach sway bar kit to help my big girl out on the body roll... because the eibach springs are still soft... any idea if they're good? the reviews on AM are kinda deterring me from the product but at the same time i'd like a little less body roll.

where can you buy GT SS lines?? i cant find em'
@OP: I wouldn't bother with cross drilled and slotted rotors. If you're really feeling an itch for new rotors, just go with powerslots. I'm beginning to see surface cracks on my front rotors. They look cool as hell, and people always notice them and say"DUDE!!11!1 CROSS DRILLED ROTORS!!!!1 SO FAST!!!"
Any cobra upgrade, would be badass. And as jazzer stated SS lines are always a plus

Do you have SFCs yet? If not, I can honestly say that the sway bar won't do anywhere NEAR as much for you as SFCs will. I have the UPR full length ones, and let me tell you what, it has made my car quieter, more responsive, and smoother all around-and I still have crappy stock worn out shocks n' springs at all four corners! Imagine when I upgrade those!

I have the ford racing crosed and drilled rotors with the hawk pads.
They work really good! I felt the difference right way and I didn't even get the rear rotors because I could'nt afford it. The cost for that was 300 for 2 ford racing rotors and 140 for front&rear pads. = $440. its ben a year and the pads are still stoping good!
go for it, however, it also depends on your budget.

ok this could be a bit over kill for you, but its the way im going. at almost 900 its a little steep, but really cheep if you consider i beleive the front is upgraded to 13 you get new everything all the way around and its bolt in..

hence why im getting it, just not everyone thinks that a little more money now so they dont gotta spend later. Hell i look at it like i could pay les schwab to do all of my breaks and it would probebly cost me 500 or 600 or a save a bit more and do it myself :P
plus big breaks and sloted and drilled look cool as ****..and everything would be shiny new.
