Im undecided on who to by the AP from...Fswerks which comes with their tune and Cobb tune or from Cobb which only comes with their tune and for an extra $9 you get a $50 high flow filter.
Already getting a Miltek catback for sure and undecided on FSwerks or Cobb intake when it releases. Hopefully Cobb will release before xmas cause im itching to buy ASAP!

You can only get so much power out of the stock turbo with a tune and I doubt the FSwerks is going to give you any more power over Cobb. If you still plan to get the intake then it's pointless to get the high flow filter. If you get the AP with the high flow filter you should still have the budget to get a nice set of wheels.

If we go with parts that are out as of now, I would get the FsWerks intake kit, Mountune short shifter, h&r coilovers and Borla's catback exhaust.

Maybe thats more than $1700...

Lighter,wider and probably forged aluminum wheels. A light flywheel and centerforce clutch . Thats on top of the adjustable ASB links and Koni sport dampers I already have waiting. I am not planning any more changes than that for the first year.

Are you keeping the stock springs and just plan to swap out the dampers?

Yes, at this point. I think the fiesta ST will probably hate high spring rates as much as the basic fiesta.

I will not be buying my ST before June 2014. When i do it will probably be either silver, blue or black. No sunroof but with recaro package.

Hey glad you're moving over to the Fiesta ST. I just got mine last November.

Yup. Though I would have been just as happy with a 2 liter non turbo 6 speed Fiesta if that had been offered as a sport model . I am not crazy about paying the performance surcharges on my insurance that the TURBO adds. I know that sounds like a buzz killer. I do think the Fiesta ST is a very nice package. It's just that the whole cost issue on these "summer toy" type cars is reaching the point where a guy can justify building a factory Five "take your pick" car or just build a track only car for about the same money as a tuned street car. And the track car wont need insurance or have to be useable as day 2 day!
