So far, you're taking the same route that I did with my 2004, more or less.
1 Brakes -- I did EBC, but I've moved on since to Brembo rotors and Mintex pads: so far so good. I also added SS lines and metal caliper bushings.
2 Tires and Wheels -- But I went through Tire Rack, and had NO PROBLEMS!! I now recommend them to everyone after three flawless performances.
I don't know what your future plans are, but the next thing I went for was a 19mm rr anti-sway bar from Alta, set on the "stiffest" setting, then 15% pulley, then the Koni FSDs. I am mot tracking the car, and hate scraping the pavement, so I haven't lowered at all, and probably won't. Then I did the exhaust and FBT tune. Next, I think, a head -- but not for a bit yet.
Good job, dude. Motor on!!
