-aluminum driveshaft (my stock one has slack in it and its noticeable.)
-cobra brakes (obvious reasons!)
-tuner (cause I have yet to get my car tuned for all my parts on it: gears and exhaust)
- wider front rims and tires (because I have 8" in the front and 10.5" in the rear, I think the front looks kinda sunk in.)

Give me your opinions! I'm really stuck between the tuner and the drive shaft.
I would go in the same order, but about front wheels I would forget by now, you just get them.

Go with the driveshaft first, I would be afraid to hear that slack

Have you ever heard of such a thing before? Slack in a driveshaft.

Honestly, i would go for the brakes and hit a scrap yard for a driveshaft. You can get one from any mustang i believe. Even if you cant, I would still get the brakes and look for a used stock driveshaft. You dont have enough done to your car to where you would notice an aluminum driveshaft imo. The brakes would be money better spent.

I agree. I agree. Do you think there would be a problem with them being drilled?

Theres really only benefit. Under heavy braking it will dissipate heat, but under normal driving there wont be a difference.

I'd go with the first link with the drilled rotors. They look a little better than the second one. And the second link rotors have been turned so I'd want to change the pads also, but maybe that's just me.

I'd probably go with the ones from late model restoration, before going with the "second" link.
