A lighter chassis brakes, accelerates and corners better and also has less weight transfer forward, making the brakes for effective as there is less kinetic energy to transfer into heat.
Better suspension will reduce weight transfer forward under braking again helping reduce the energy needed to be dissipated
Once this is done, and you have the tyres you are going to use then you look at the brakes, evaluate how effective your current brakes are and the best way to upgrade.

if you took the time to read the thread and his posts he says he wont be stripping the car as its an every day drive
just wants to improve a few points that will help on track and off it.
improving the way it stops is always a good thing, cant stop fast enough with some of these idiots on the road, and being able to brake later and harder in to a corner will help shave time off a lap
granted he will also need it to handle well aswell but that can be done and still leave the car usable on the road
