I would upgrade as your 'wear' parts need replacing. For
example, don't worry about the brakes until they need
replacing...unless you are auto crossing regularly now.
You will find that any upgrade will probably cost you less
than the retail Ford price for the OEM part. You may
want to do some bolt on performance pieces yourself (air
intake, exhaust)....Finally, the handling aspects (lowering
with new springs, struts and sway bar) can be done relatively inexpensively ....say $2,000 CDN ....

skeeter:, PM me if you need some local sources and prices
for the stuff I've done to my car.
