I say upgrade to gsr brakes all around, then get SS brakelines and some decent pads, then later when you add power, youll be able to stop as well, and what is really more useful? good brakes, or 10 hp? just remember, if you rearend someone, its usually your fault, if someone else rearends you because you stop faster than them, its ussually their fault.

Maybe go with the brake upgades and some cool suspension. Even with a lack of power itll handle like crazy, just like Iggys 85, lol.
