This is the order that I would do things if I could do it all over again:

1. Oil catch can - JLT 3.0 - Installed mine on Tuesday and cannot believe its caught oil already with just over 150 miles driven after install.
2. Steeda clutch spring and perch - having the extra perch will be insurance in case you break your OEM perch during removal or reinstallation
3. Ford Performance Power Pack 2
4. Ford Performance Touring exhaust w/black tips

Those are the mods that I've done to my car so far. This is the order in which I did them originally; 4, 2, 3, 1

The Steeda clutch spring was my first mod – definitely a no brainer. Once I find a reputable alignment shop and winter clears up I am going to throw on the BMR subframe kit as well as some lowering springs.

If you're not very tall, get the clutch pedal extension block (I got mine from AM). makes shifting so much better.

+1, just waiting for the part to come in

Have you done, if so would you mind to share some experience with the bracket?
[MENTION=26657]Machelen[/MENTION] It is fairly easy on jack stands just take your time, and would be easy as pie on a lift.

The BMR Cradle Lockout Kit is money well spent as others have mentioned. The Differential Bushings are also a good investment. LOVE my BMR springs too!

supercharger kit. put it on a zero percent credit card and make small payments on it. technically that's cheap :ninja: (but if you can't afford it with cash, that's a terrible idea)
I thought about getting a supercharger right off the bat...I thought to myself hey I can control it easy if Im careful...NOT. After driving the car around half the day I am completely certain I would be dead right now or wish i was after I ditched the car... Stock it has more then enough power for me atm...actually caught me by surprise when i did a short pull and was like WHOA...

Going to get the Steeda spring asap...cant feel the clutch engagement at all..1-2 gear shifts are the suck.

Thanks for the all the suggestions...now to divert cash and make the wife focus on other things besides the account.... :ninja:

Careful... you get used to the power after a while and that rush just isn't there anymore. Then you'll be checking your bank account to see if you can afford a supercharger kit.

Performance Pack GT, I would do the following personally.

Lowering Springs. Our SP080 kit is the bees knees for a PP GT.

Cradle Kit with FRPP Toe Knuckle Bearings. If you get our CB005 and the Ford Racing M-5A460-M it will be the best $270 you've ever spent on a performance car. Axle back Exhaust....

Thanks for the suggestions Kelly!

Absolutely love the SP080 springs on my PP GT.

I've been eyeing the BMR Cradle Lock out kit (CB005R).
I'll add the Ford Performance Toe Link - to - Knuckle bearing (M-5A460-M) per your suggestion.

My first mods where:

Steeda clutch spring
J&M jacking rails
UPR catch can
FRPP strut/cowl brace

I think everyone should have these (with the manufacturer of your preference) at minimum, they are cheap and increase safety and driveability.

Yes definitely this too. I'm 5'10 and felt like I was humping the steering wheel before I put my extension on.
