Questions on tuning a 280Z

I'm now the proud owner of a 1977 Datsun 280Z (just Z not ZX). It has a few issues, mostly relating to brakes and suspension both of which I'd like to swap out anyways to improve the performance.

I'm new to these vehicles and my usual part hunting grounds are turning up no leads. I'd love some tips if anyone knows any.

I'm mainly looking for:
- a complete brake kit change, preferably a "big brake" kit
- a coilover/damper suspenion kit (I've found some from Tokico but I'm looking for something possibly a little heavier duty)

Of course, tips on anything else would be awesome.

Thanks in advance!
