you can stick with what you have, but you will have better braking with the dual piston calipers.
i'm on rotora drilled/slotted rotors and akebono ceramic pads. i installed them in march 2008 and i believe it they have over 50k miles on them. while installing the axles after the swap, i looked at the brakes and they are still in great shape.

take your time with your mods. i know we all want our cars to look badass ASAP but be patient. save up money and get some classy pricier mods (lip kit, coilovers, projectors, custom interior 
) get new brakes only when you absolutely need them. if you get another paycheck, add it to the 300 you already have and wow look at that. you can now afford a lip kit and coilovers.

Why spend money on performance not like you can go super fast with all these racing laws that are being put into place.
why not start with the easy mods? like lighting? get smds or lighting strips which are dirt cheap now there are some easy mods you can do like glowing door handles.
You want to turn heads then get subs unless you already have some(not talking about the Bose sub that comes with the car).
I personally have 2100watts infinity subs with infinity amps and the box although is huge cause I had bought it to fit my old accord takes up so little space since the TL trunk is so huge.
When i put them in we used to live in a Condominium and the first time the whole building started shaking and now at the house the neighborhood shakes and all my neighbors know that i just come home
You drive by or pull up anywhere with heavy bass people(girls) will turn to look.

Sand will strip the aluminum threds.
OP,
I went from eibach's to coilovers and when I slamed mine the rear roll was gone with no rear sway upgrade.
The more I raised my car the more the rear roll was comming back.
Slamming the car will definity increase handling on smooth surfaces but,on the street you will find your self going slower because you will be banging and scraping on anything.
worse places are driving on the highways and going across bridge pads.
even now that I'm ata good height I still find myself cringing up waiting to hear something smash.
You should start with springs and when the struts are no good get the koni yellows.
The lowest eibach's and yellow koni's will get you as low as you need for the street.
And will give a beter ride than the entry model coilovers.
And you don't have to deal with coilover noise or them comming loose or getting seized.
Then get pulleys,headers,intake
