Brakes - it's always a good idea to upgrade brakes - being able to stop is usually a good idea and a mod to do first
Thanks,Matt

stock brakes are very good, coilovers are best for serious track guys
but the lowest rated thing on Corvettes are the seats - so I'd go A4s first

Damn all that work to a TT vette with stock brakes? Yea Im gonna have to go with Brakes, whats your budget?
You could get C6 Z51 brakes with some leather A4's and probably be around the price of what youd pay for the LG Coilovers..

I voted brakes after seeing the full mod list. Any of those are good mods considering everything else that is done.

I cant go big brake brembos because of my I-forged wheels. They are 3 piece and the stem gets in the way.
