Brakes
#3
Be careful because the V6s need a caliper bracket that Ford no longer makes. The new piece is a 2 piece design that costs 4 times as much, and pretty much nowhere still stocks the old one. When I upgraded my brakes I went with slotted and drilled rotors from sdmustangaccessories.com and HPS pads and they work way better then stock ever did.

If you don't need anything over stock just go back with the stock rotors and some upgraded brake pads (Hawk or the equivalent). Slotted rotors would be better as it will keep the pad clean of dust, drilled tbh is kinda useless. If your rotors are heating up to the point where they need to be drilled you are probably being too hard on the brakes or you are doing something like autocross and should probably get a brake cooling kit.
Slotted is OK at least in my opinion, drilled is useless as the holes don't help cool the rotor as much as they increase the chance for hairline fractures to develope in the rotor.

I got my DBA rotors and hawk pads from American Muscle, and then valvoline synthetic dot 4 brake fluid from Napa
The install was fairly easy so if you have the tools and a helper then I'd vote for diy
