I love my Robispec KW's... They're a bit expensive but well worth the money.

Since you are clearly new to the car. Stay with stock suspension and some good pads (like DS2500s). Once you get used to the car's stock capabilities, you will have a better understanding of what changes you would like and why.

agreed.

resist the urge to mod just to mod LOL.

if you want it to just look nice, a set of good lowering springs is fine.

it's cool, but in all seriousness, none of that is necessary. also, if you are tuning the car to run gravel/rally/etc, you wouldn't need giant brakes.

the brembo calipers from Porsche can drive them with 345mm disc too, but maybe AP Racing will be better

If I were you, I'd just go with bilstein struts and some stiff springs (I have swift springs). For brakes, DBA rotors, Project Mu pads, and some new brake fluids. That should be a really good setup for street.

shoot, i forgot you asked about brakes. i daily on Autozone ceramics. if you like to get the brakes hot driving through mountain roads, etc i'd go with maybe some Hawk HPS, or whatever they are called. still very streetable but can take some abuse. any brake rotor is fine (Centric are nice and cheap).
