If you're wanting .02 worth of opinion, here ya go.

I don't understand the point of a "throttle body spacer." Sounds like something that will cause intake tube fitment issues and possible leaks for little or zero gain.

The Invos suck. They have an interesting tread pattern but they're hard as a rock and have terrible traction in any/all conditions. They are cheap and that might be the reason you've chosen them, but there are a lot better tires out there, even for the same money (Nitto NT555 and Continental Extreme) or more expensive (Toyo Proxes and Michelin Super Sport).

The reason your Sportlines are 'rough' is because of the matched shocks and struts from Eibach. I suggest an adjustable set of shocks/struts so you can make the car as stiff as appropriate. I have Sportlines with Tokico D-specs, and right now I have them set at 1 turn in the front and 3 in the rear (adjustable from 0 turns soft to 7 turns firm) and it rides like a Cadillac. I can crank them down to teeth-rattle in about two minutes total.

All the Ford parts are okay. All of them you listed are repackaged versions of other aftermarket parts, so it's hard to go wrong there.

You did ask...
Tokico D-specs are good to go? I was planning in buying the eibach kit. Just want a smoother ride and tighter suspension.
