As far as it coming with parts you may already have on the car, that only applies if you have the PP and are installing the street handling pack. Everything is the same on the PP besides the springs in the street pack. The track pack is an entirely different package. Nothing from the PP carries over to the track pack.
Unfortunately I'm not as knowledgeable about vehicles as I am with computers. If this was a gaming computer, I could source and build everything myself from individual components, and know I had a superior product. With cars, not so much, so I'm a bit ignorant here.
Not quite true. All GTs and PP EBs get the PP rear toe link. This is from Ford, not conjecture or anecdote. So yes, you're paying for stuff you already have if you have a GT (any GT).
For a little more money you can get better components, but the front struts won't be assembled.
That is not true for the Base-to-Track Pack upgrade, which the OP is doing. Mine was a Base-to-Track Pack and we replaced all the major components.
You are almost 100% likely to never have a problem. This is the first I'm hearing of anyone having "issues" with the FRPP sway bars, so it's hard for me to believe there is a uniform failure with the kit.
Then those are most likely outliers. The tone of your initial post seemed to me that you felt it was a serious problem. Apologies if I misunderstood, sometimes it is hard to determine intent through the written word. Anyway, it sounds like you are trying to talk the guy out of purchasing a competitor's product by using extremely rare examples, which in my opinion is not cool at all. Your product can stand on its own.
It is overall a very good package, particularly since you don't need to rent/barrow/purchase a spring compressor to install, and can do all of it in your driveway or garage quite easily. You are definitely paying for toe links you already have, though, if you own a GT (any of them) or a EB PP.

The only reason I would prefer the FR track over the konis is that I don't have to drill out the rear upper shock mount. The 12mm part from steeda is bloody expensive, I believe.
You said you would NOT recommend the package because of TWO people you have seen that experienced a very uncommon circumstance, and because the package gives you extra parts? And the other 99% of the package you "have no issues with" but you're still not going to recommend it? Mmm ;)
