Default Another what 2 buy?

Ok this is my situation i have about $1000 to spend. I need brakes and control arms. I want slotted or drilled/slotted rotors which is what i have now.
? is should i buy a kit like 1 of these
http://www.purems.com/products/product.php/II=810
http://shop.achtuning.com/index.asp?...ROD&ProdID=322
Are these worth the $$$ http://www.ecstuning.com/stage/edpd/...%20Brake%20OEM
Or should i piece it together i want rotors all around w/pads of course I also want to replace the fluid. The lines i dont care so much about because im not offroading the car.


I figure the control arms should be bought in a kit like this, is there a site cheaper then this? Also in spring i will be putting on C/O so do i need a different kit? http://www.purems.com/products/product.php/II=1740

what kind of mods do yu have, and what are you planning on doing to your car.. Im going with the big brake kit myself, it will make the bigest difference, the front brakes do most of the work.. no real need to go crazy on the rear

Well I have 007, MTM software, MTM exhaust with resonator which i in conflict with at the moment because there claim shows more power with a resonator then with out it. K&N panel filter, NGK plugs, SS, Snub mount and AWE Tuning DTS. I want to go with either the T3/T4 or GT2871RS in the spring with HR c/o. Not sure if the car will endup with the BT but those are the plans. Currently my drilled slotted rotors are down to just drilled and sometimes the car will pull to one side or the other when brakeing.

The rotors that are on there are drilled/slotted but the slots are worn down smooth in the front. I still have good pad but will replace them anyhow. I have a MTM chip in the car. I have 70k miles on the car and here a creaking sound at really slow speeds its also feels a lil loose. I would rather be safe then sorry like when i was 18 and pushed off replaceing my ball joints i had my tire fold over while driving around smoking weed.
