so I'm thinking about treating myself to some goodies since I'm coming up on my 1 year cigarette free anniversary. I'm thinking about getting some brakes shown below and something to give me a lil drop to close up the wheel gap. what have others gone with as far as springs or coilovers? and Kirk can you help me install these sometime in the future?

You can do it yourself. Or if you want, you could swing by my place and I'll help you, if you dont wanna wait.

I know. I just need the garage space and tools. I pretty much do all the work on the oil changes myself now, just borrow garage time and tools from Kirk. I can wait till he comes back.

That's the exact same brake package Kirk helped install on Al's Z. For springs, the best choice is definitely the swift spec r. You can get them for like $300. Don't really have much experience with coilovers so maybe someone else can help you out with that.
