Lightbulb Caught the FRS/GT86 bug. Looking for expert opinion.

Hey all. First of all I want to say thanks for letting me join this community. Please forgive me for any future "newbie" questions. I do realize I could probably find a lot of the answers to my questions by scouring the forums, but I'd also like to ask you guys (and girls) directly.

I've recently caught the FRS bug.. I caught the jeep bug pretty bad, however I am nearing the end of my 2015 diesel jeep JKU build/the next upgrades are pretty expensive and I've got my eyes and heart set on an FRS build.

So.. here are my question for you all.

1. I'm currently leaning towards the +300 kit from Crawford. Have any of you had any experience with it?
I have been in touch with Crawford and I will most likely be purchasing the parts they recommend to include their short block and clutch (at a minimum).

Before I drop an additional 300 hp into the little engine the FRS comes with, I'm gonna have to make sure the rest of the car can handle the extra umph. So my first instinct is suspension and braking.

2. What coilovers so you guys think are the best for multi purpose use out there (DD and occasional track use)? I've looked around and it seems like there is a pretty large consensus that the KW Varient 3's with regards to performance. Are they worth the price tag or is there something else out there that would work fine?

3. Braking, what are you guys running? I don't think dropping 3 grand into Brembos is necessary.

4. Lastly, and more generically, what do you guys recommend? What are the improvements that I can't live without.. the is best cooling, axles, exhaust.. etc. the buy right the first time mods*relatively speaking for multi purpose use*

Again, forgive me on the newbie questions. I know pretty much everything there is to know about the wrangler, but not much of anything when it comes to the FRS.

Thanks so much guys!
