Header time, suspension too, and a bomb q

I swear I didn't intend that to ryme. I've recently decided that I need to spend some money that I have saved because I've been sorta down in the dumps recently (mostly about trying to deal with Black Forest and my father). I figure if I spend some dough and tidy up my 5k I will at least temporarily have some joy. First up to the plate is fixing broken stuff. 

I'm going to go through the suspension and replace about everything, and while I'm there I'm doing brembo rotors and new pads. Then to finish off the brakes I was going to do the bomb which has been bad as long as I've had the car. Trouble is that my cost through WorldPac is $239.22. Seems totally not worth it. First question, is it worth it? Second question, is there a cheaper source?

Now that I'll have gone through all of the important stuff I'm going to go ahead and do the 272 cam and start on my header and downpipe. Still lacking a decent intercooler, but thats next on the list right behind Raceware head studs. I bet I'm going to get flamed for this, but if the cam and header don't do enough for me then I'm thinking about some NO2. I could see it to be convienient to have 50hp on a button.
