Default performance pack parts...how to find them.

I was curious about picking up the performance package and putting the parts on my car. Is there any website that sells the parts all together?

Not that I'm aware of, but you could probably build something very similar from the aftermarket. You need:
  • Bigger wheels with stickier tires (easy to find and install)
  • Stiffer front and rear springs (easy to find, harder to install)
  • Upgraded anti-roll / sway bars (easy to find, not too bad to put on)
  • GT front and rear brakes with more aggressive pads (possibly new take off + aftermarket)
  • Gloss black side mirror caps (DIY) and a different grill (hard to find)
  • V6 engine dress up cover (impossible to find)
  • 3.31 rear gears (available, need to have someone who knows what they are doing install them)
  • Unique stability control calibration (not readily available)

So not impossible at all. Trouble is, at $1800 as an option from the factory, you really can't touch it for the price if you try to do it after the fact.

GT Struts and springs in the front, and GT shocks in the back
GT Front Sway bar, SVT rear
SVT Lower Control arms
19 inch wheels with a Stickier tire
Performance Brake Pads front and rear (Brakes rotors are the same size as the normal V6).
3.31 gears, but if you have the 2.73's I would go to a 3.55 instead.
Boss Strut Tower brace

The actual list below
• Choice of automatic or manual transmissions (coupe only)
• Strut-tower brace
• Larger front sway bar and SVT rear sway bar
• Unique front springs
• Unique front and rear calipers with performance friction pads
• 19” painted aluminum wheels
• 255/40-19 summer-only tires
• Unique stability control calibration
• Gloss black side mirrors
• 3.31 limited-slip rear axle

I agree and probably cost less. I've seen the v6pp lower control arms and my cheap J&M LCAs are probably much stronger. Plus the v6pp springs and struts still leave you with 4x4 looks. You can still find strut braces for under $50. And the v6pp wheel package is all about the tires. You just need more sticky ones which would be the most expensive part. I got my Shelby front sway bar for $50 too. Why pay $2,000 when you can buy all the parts, less tires, for under $500 depending on what you purchase. I don't care for the new v6pp wheels, but thought the package was worth $2000 just for the tires and wheels on the old v6pp offering.
