Upgrading suspension and brakes on my 2003 180FWD. Would very much appreciate recommendations. Currently have stock.
Thanks.

This will be for street. Would like to keep everything under $3K.

KW V1, front and rear anti-swaybars, DEFCONs, Porsche Caymen Brembo or Wilwood calipers.

For street and you like the ride height, just replace the shocks with Koni or Bilstein HDs. No need to purchase rear camber adjustment controls. If you want to lower the ride height, Eibach springs are the perferred choice here along with either Koni or Bilstein shocks. You will have to get rear camber adjusters (K-Mac or control arms) as your alignment will need them.

On brakes, one of the best upgrades is the TyrolSport's brake stiffening kit. Along with SS lines and better fluid, this will make the stock system perform like a BBK for the street.

Rotors are a personal choice, Slot and Drilled will help in rain.

Brake pad such as Mintex red Box are good street pads with little brke dust and better stopping capabilities over stock. Other s can chime in on ceramic pads.

Look at my Fotki for more...

Hope this helps.

Also thinking about doing my FWD with coilovers and am wondering if there is a list of everything that should be replaced/refreshed/improved while I am in there. Usage will be 90% street w/occasional track.

i.e.

tie rod ends
ball joints
Control Arm Bushings
strut mounts
position bushings
DEFCON 1/2

Thanks in advance!
