First: figure out (or list here, if you know it) what you've got in there.

Turbo brakes are heavier than stock. If your car is lightened (as the Lexan suggests), then bigger brakes will only add unsprung weight (and worse, rotating mass) and make your car slower. They also won't make the car stop any faster. Are you having problems with brake fade? Coil-overs wouldn't offer much improvement over 22/28 t-bars, given that they would compromise the amount of tire you could run in front. What kind of swaybars does the car have?

If you recently got the car, then your first priority ought to be to work out what you've got, and to make sure it's all working within spec, and that the car is properly aligned and set up for your specific type of use.
