I replaced the entire OEM suspension - that was my "best" mod.

I don't know I could say one is the best....

But getting the one piece driveshaft allowed me to remove the speed limiter, so instead of being oe limited when I get to the track now I can regularly see in the 140's.

But the suspension upgrades were likely worth more to me, cornering and braking

I guess if I had to pick I would say my Roush front end. Totally changed the attitude of the car.

If I had to pick one mod, I'd say tuning my 4.0L was my favorite "fun" mod. The light to light difference was night and day.

That said, without upgrading my tires and suspension, I wouldn't have felt the confidence in handling the car with my new tune. So in terms of safety, swapping in 255/40/17s on all four tires was probably the single best thing I did for the car, closely followed by adding GT front and rear sway bars.

Fun mod = tune
Safety mod = sticky tires

Depends on whether you mean appearance or performance.
Appearance-wise: the Roush front facia
Power-wise: supercharger or turbo

The Airaid/SCT Bama Tuner package from AM made a good car into a great car.

Suspension can do wonders. Lowered with Eibach springs, and sways, Koni's, BMR LCA, LCA relo brackets, and PHB made my car feel brand new.
