Default Clutch and brake question

Ok, so i think its time for a new clutch and brakes. Which one, based on my symptoms, needs to be replaced first with a better quality.

Brakes- Shakes in the front when stopping at high speeds.
Clutch- RPM drops in first, wanting to stall. Gotta give it more gas

These are my mods.

K&N CAI w/ 93 oct tune
CMDP
Steeda UDP
Flowmasters Axle back

What brakes and clutch should i be looking at?


Thanks

I don't think problem is related to your clutch

Sounds like a problem with your tune.
With your mods factory brakes should be fine.

signs of a bad clutch are when you setup on the gas the rpm's go up but the car does not accelrate well, the worse shape the clutch is in the worse it will do this, this is what is known as the clutch slipping, if it is slipping you should also notice a very strange smell, that would be clutch burning or clutch dust. You will also have trouble shifting and maybe even gridding gears.

I agree that your rpm/stalling problem is a tune problem. Probably running to rich, then when you let off the gas there isan excessof gas in the cylinder causeing it to stumble or stall. My old turbo eclipse did this and it was running to rich. Just a guess though.
