Couple questions regarding brakes/suspension etc.

Just got a couple questions, did a fair amount of research too.

1. Brakes - My heads starting to hurt from reading all the reviews of pads and rotors. I think I have it narrowed down to the Z1Motorsports rotors and either Hawk HPS or OEM pads. Not sure of the hawks too much because of the cold bite issue i have been reading about. What do you think? Can't really justify spending money on a BBK since I never track/race and rarely do spirited driving.

2. Tokiko HP shocks? Want to get new shocks in, just as a maintenance item since I hit 108,000 miles recently and feel like the ride can be improved. Any other suspension items you recommend? currently on stock suspension and don't want a height change.

3. Spacers - Wanted to get some spacers for oem 19's. What do you think about 20front and 25rear Ichiba V2 spacers? Is that the widest I can go at stock height without roll?

I was also debating going for beefier tires than stock but don't want to decrease sidewall size and decrease ride quality. The tire sizes I was thinking were 245/35/19 and 255/35/19.

Thanks!

Sway bars - cheap and effective.

Those tire sizes are good for OEM wheels but the right rubber makes all the difference.

As for spacers: Both cars below have OEM Rays and the one on the right has 20mm front /25mm rear. Like I mentioned earlier, 25/30mm will give you more of a flush look.
