Toyota red coolant.

MSD and NGK both make decent plug wires unless you want to make your own... then you can make some monstrous ones.

Just stick with the stock NGK Platinums for the spark plugs, anything else is little more than novelty... iridium lasts longer but is much less conductive.

NEVER cheap out on brakes, and might as well flush the brake fluid system and inspect the calipers and guides.

Check out the belts and while the coolant is drained inspect the timing belt.

Ok thanks for the reply. I wasn't going to cheap out on brakes. I just haven't been able to find much on performance brakes for the MKIII I can get standard brembo blank rotors. But was looking to go either drilled or slotted and drilled but don't want to buy those cheap rotors you see flying around on ebay. As far as pads go I was going to look at EBC pads they seem to be really good.

Or, if you want a system with MASSIVE balls, check out ARZ's posts in the authorized vendor's section or here at their website: http://www.arizonaperformance.com/parts.html

EBC Green Stuff are the next pad I plan on trying. Porterfields R4-S aren't bad on the MKIII.

Upgrading to stainless steel brake lines wouldn't hurt.

thanks for the link, I think for now I am just going to do rotors and pads, but would love to do a big brake kit eventually.
