these things are all a waste.
The BBK control arms are a joke
the sway bar kit is unecessary, as your stock bars work fine (unless broken)
the Eibach shock set is junk. Tokico Illumina's are a MUCH better choice.
Dont get the H&R Race, get the Super Sports
brake paint.... really
Powerslot rotors wont help you stop any faster
CAI Kit. unless you are buying an Ebay CAI, you are wasting money. The stock intake system is actually better.
SCT 4-bank... your car is stock. You cant benefit here

One of the best kept secerts of the 5.0 world is brake caliper paint.
Cuts stopping distances by micro-inches and is easy to apply.......
Increases in HP/torque equal to the installation of a billet cigar lighter......

Ok the brake paint was not for a HP/Torque increase. So no need to be a smart ***. I am just asking for the help on the other stuff.

dont just think HP, you can drop a second ET in the 1/4 by doing a 4.10 swap and ET streets if your still stock
to get that in horsepower it'd take a 100
the BEST bangs for the buck are
1) nitrous (75-125 shot is perfect)
2) gears (4.10 or leave it stock)
each are worth a full second ET drop or more
after that its all in the heads, so start saving

Gears are definitely a good idea. I would at least get MM lower control arms, and MM full length subframe connectors. What is your budget? Personally I would start off with a h/c/i first for a good hp gain along with the fuel and air upgrades to support it.
