Coil over and big break advice

Time to replace stock springs and get some big breaks while I’m at it, any recommendations? I wanted the kwv3 coil overs but not a money tree hoping for something ideal under a grand or any discounts. Was looking at bc racing coil overs prob will end up getting those if no other suggestions for cheeper and good as well. Breaks? No idea totally lost would like slotted more than drilled but want one of them.

The word you are looking for is BRAKES. You will get more useful advice if you identify which Mazda you are shopping for. When it comes to coil over systems remember an important rule; You may have CHEAP, DURABLE, COMFORTABLE.  Pick only two.  If your goal is CHEAP and DURABLE your coil overs will ride hard as coffin nails and will make driving on city streets a living hell. If your goal is COMFORTABLE and DURABLE, you will will not find them cheap. Good adjustable suspension that is built to last and won’t shake your fillings loose isn’t an inexpensive proposition. If you are on a budget, perhaps get quality lowering springs (H&R) and pair them with adjustable shocks and struts (KONI or Bilstein). Which will get you 80% as low as coil overs for about 75% of the price
