coil overs or brakes, I'm leaning towards the brakes only because they are so expensive. What other time are you going to have that much cash to play with? I think you will like those the most. You already have EAP's which are not that common unless your on here lol. With the suspension your car will handle better and look better. With the brakes your car will stop better, better pedal feel (SS lines of course), and lets not forget that your wheels would look cooler with some big honking disc behind those black EAP's.

What do you have now? Looks like you have wheels and suspension already, so brakes would be the logical choice. That being said you could get rims, sell your EAP's, then get brakes too depending on how much you would have to add?

I said the breaks. Everything listed works together but starts with brakes. no use with the extra handling if you don't have the control of SVT brakes. and the wheels would look good after the brakes.

IMO you don't need rear discs. I auto-x and stock ZX3 brakes do just fine. Unless you're coming down from like 100mph or so and don't want brake fade I'd skimp on those. If you want to upgrade braking, just get some aggressive pads. Much cheaper and a lot less work.

If you want to brake well get good tires. You can put down a lot more braking force without locking up. And on a ZX3 you can still easily lock up high tier street/race tires on hot, dry ground.

TE37s are so sexy....... mmm. But I don't know. Suspension is so fun.
