You might do a search on the SSB stuff as some members don't think very highly of them (and I doubt there'd be a significant increase in performance). The Wilwood link doesn't work for me.

You may find info below interesting:

There really isn't a lot of modification to be concerned about if you went, say, 1LE, and they would be at the upper end of your budget, IIRC.
