for the brakes (which are spelled "brakes" btw)...a good brand would be nissan, the 300ZX calipers + SS lines are usualy more than enough fro the daily driver/weekend warrior, the aluminum 30mm calipers are optimal, paired with some good pads and rotors will give you short braking distance and reduce fade, as for suspension...coilovers would have to be the most cost effective for their adjustablility to price ratio, some good brands to search on would be megan racing, KTS and Silk road, since you plan on driving your car pretty hard, some chassis braces and nismo engine/tranny mounts might help, as your car is 15 years old. the one single part that will make the largest impact on handling will be larger diameter anti-roll bars. for adjustablitly you should look into getting camber adjustable pillow mounts if your coiovers dont come with them, as well as tie rods and RUCAs and the like. this should give you a good start to search from because unltimately you know best what you need
