Is the car going to remain a DD? if so, skip the Z brakes until later (so you can get to that SR/RB swap sooner). They look marginally better than stock brakes but have limited purpose unless you intend to do track events and need to haul your car down from 100mph repeatedly in short time periods. Bigger brakes have larger heat capacity for more sustained braking, not necessarily shorter braking distances.
Skip body kit stuff unless you intend to paint the car, otherwise it looks like crap (at least to other people).
5-lug with some decent wheels and exhaust (combined with the coilovers you have), and your car will look and sound pretty decent. After that you're ready to put in your engine of choice.
