Reping the spoon parts man!
If you haven't already I wouldn't get poly bushes,
My last 9 I had hardrace harden rubber bushes, they are much better than polys because you won't get the annoying squeaks and you don't have to grease them every so often.
Brake pads are a hard one for you, because you want "best" but best on the track and best on the road is pretty broad.
Personally I run a track pad on the road because I don't do any miles but if it was a daily I'd probably look at yellow stuff as a budget option (still decent) or ds2500 as a more expensive more track focused option.
Discs, I buy brembo blanks. They are cheap and they work. No need for flashy expensive discs IMO.
I've used mtec in the past with no issues either.
 
U becomin a spoon whore or shud i say already a whore! Cars looking great man! More pics is better. Did u fit the k tuned shifter? And pics of all the spoon in the bay?

i guess i am a spoon whore now hahaa! but i love it lol! thanks buddy its comeing along tidy i dont wanna over do it or spoil the oem ''Look'' some people might like some people might not, yeah the shifter is all fitted and on the highest point and its sooo smooth and short if that makes sence a good peice of kit and its solid no cheap crap! i love it! just waiting on my skunk2 valve cover washers then will fit most of the spoon goodies :) and i will get better pics as i promised ages ago lol :D
 
Iirc I got mine from an eBay dealer, racingxs or something like that.
They'll price it by the bush if you want so if you've got say lca already you can just leave those out.
