Nope, not stupid at all bud. Live within your means when it comes to car mods. The mils are really unnecessary. you can run without em untill you save up enough for a tuner to permanently tell the computer to STFU with the CEL. lol

Nope! the only way you will lose performance on an o2 sensor issue is if the front o2 sensors are bad. The rears just tell the computer that your cats are working properly. No harm, no foul.

HEHE I have those ^

Personally I would go with an x pipe. If I could do it all over again I would go with the crusinconcepts BAER brake package they have for like 9 bones.

i really just want steel brake lines because im not a huge fan of the spongy plastic hose and these calipers would go great but at the sametime dont feel like i have enough power yet for em

Brakes should come before power in my book. I upgraded to SS lines a while back, they didnt really seem worth the 80 bucks for me. I never autocrossed with em though so I cant really give a performance driving review on em.
