2)Change the brake system then do the (F-Sport lowering spring and F-Sport Shock)..

To be honest, neither option.
Get coilovers, you'll be happier trust me. Then get some wheels. Brake upgrades aren't really worthwhile unless you track the car. You won't stop any faster. It'll just look good but good wheels will catch more eyes than a BBK.

If you have a 350, then your brake calipers are already powerful enough. The 350 front calipers are made by Advics in Japan, which is a performance brake caliper manufacturer.
If you want better braking, best bet is the upgrade brake pads, slotted rotors, brake lines and brake fluid with higher boiling point. After these upgrades, your braking will be significantly improved already.
The big brake kits are really for aesthetics, unless you upgrade to 6 or 8 pot for more braking power. For spirited driving, the above mentioned upgrades would suffix.
Good luck!

If you want shorter stopping distances the only way to insure that is to upgrade the tires
The pads, rotors, lines, and fluid will do absolutely nothing to stop the car shorter in normal street driving. They can all change the feel of the brakes, but not reduce the normal stopping distance.
because the brakes don't stop the car, the tires do.

if the money is there. coilovers is the first thing to do on pretty much any car. you change the complete look, feel, performance, of the car all at once. and leaver you room to play with lip kits, wheels, etc.
