My future build plans, please post thoughts and ideas about it

I guess it's a good list, but since we have no real idea what you intend to do with the car, it's kinda tough to say if the list is appropriate or not.

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.

Get the Tokicos, or any adjustable strut/shock combo. You will thank yourself later

Yes, you really need to align your car after replacing any front end parts.

I like mine, but they're just what I was able to find Used for a good price. The Koni Yellows are just as good. There are also some nice options in coilovers.

I looked up both the Koni yellows an Tokico D specs and both say don't fit 2011+ mustangs only for 05-10 GTs. So is the fitment wrong on American muscle?

Just as ^^ he said, all you need is a pair of GT500 strut mounts and you can install them on your car. You really want to have that better strut mount anyway, the '11+ design is absolute TRASH and they normally fall completely apart when you disassemble the front end.
