Best way to up grade my cars daily dirve ability
I WAS LOOKING AT up grading suspension and brakes but i just dunno where the best place to start is. I was looking at different sub frame connectors and strut tower braces, also brake and rotor up grade kits but i just dunno where to start. Any hep you guys can give would be great

Check out the Spohn website, they got pretty good prices and carry a big variety of suspension parts. As stated above though, it is hard to assess your needs without knowing your goals for the car. I would have to agree that the LS1 brake upgrade is a great bang for the buck. I just picked up a complete LS1 brake kit from one of the boards member for 150.00 and it included everything, brand new rotors&pads, as well as the spindle, hub, caliper, bracket,hoses, ect.

Well right now I'm not looking for anything in any kind of racing just daily driving. Right now it's breaking sucks so ls1 upgrade would be good. Also i was wondeirng if the slotted rotors are worth it? Also it's not very firm on the corners tends to lean to much so sometihng to help that would be great too.

I've been really happy with the 1LE suspension parts and C5/Z06 brake upgrade. If you do a search, you can find out about these mods. The Spohn TA is a nice piece and the KBDD SFC's are an excellent choice. Don't bother with bolt-on SFC, get weld-ons. If you want to lower the car, the Eibach springs will also do a lot for the handling. The easiest handling upgade is a GOOD set of tires. They can also make a huge difference.

the slotted rotors are not really worth the money. good pads will make the most difference.
for cornering...sway bars.
i like my BMR 32/21mm solid bars, they were well priced and made a HUGE difference in the feel of the car in the corners.
