However, being a novice in cars....i have some questions (sorry if this might not be the right place to ask)..
What do these parts do.. and is it expensive to get them fitted?? do i need to go to a FTO specialist like UAS for the fitting?? (mine is a GPX Tip)
Poly Engine Mounts...
63mm Throttle Body Kit..
Magnecor Performance Ignition Lead Set...(is it the same thing as the one in the Cam Skill Group Buy??)
RDA Slotted Rotors + Stainless steel braided Brake lines front kit + Brake Master Cylinder Upgrade kit 1" Bore. Would these be better than the UAS brake upgrade?? and are these all i need to upgrade to a good set of brake??
Lightweight Flywheel...(always hear this but never know what it does)
RPW Performance Extractors...(read somewhere here this is one of the easiest and cheapest upgrade other than an induction kit)...could i use this without upgrading the exhaust?? Also what does the ceramic coating do?
sorry to ask so much....but would like to know which of these should i buy in this good buy.....
Thanks very much, guys.

Okay, i will answer as much as i can, but Ben will hopefully be able to shed some more light:
Poly Engine Mounts...
The standard Rubber engine mounts are renowned for cracking. These poly ones are a lot stronger, which means less engine movement, which i think would improve things such as traction (less hopping), engine wear, etc. (can Ben Verify?) Would have to be fitted by licenced mechanic
63mm Throttle Body Kit..
Great way to improve performance as it increases the intake. I would assume somebody with decent mechanical knowledge could fit these
Magnecor Performance Ignition Lead Set...(is it the same thing as the one in the Cam Skill Group Buy??)
Yeah same thing from the other group buy. I'm getting mine from here purely because its easier to get everything at once. You can fit these yourself if you are comfortable taking off the intake manifold.
RDA Slotted Rotors + Stainless steel braided Brake lines front kit + Brake Master Cylinder Upgrade kit 1" Bore. Would these be better than the UAS brake upgrade?? and are these all i need to upgrade to a good set of brake??
This kit combined with a good set of pads would be great. (ben? help?)
Lightweight Flywheel...(always hear this but never know what it does)
A lightweight Flywheel helps reduce the weight on the crankshaft. Thus increase torque, power and especially pickup. Engine will rev a lot easier without as much weight on the crank. Needs to be fitted by a mechanic unless you are comfortable taking the gearbox out yourself.
RPW Performance Extractors...(read somewhere here this is one of the easiest and cheapest upgrade other than an induction kit)...could i use this without upgrading the exhaust?? Also what does the ceramic coating do?
This is one of the best ways to get more HP out of your FTO and this set of extractors is found on many many ftos... (i know of at least 6-7 that live near me) Can be fitted by almost any exhaust shop i presume.
The ceramic coating im not sure about. Im assuming it keeps down underbonnet temps and makes them look a lot nicer.
a lot of that stuff im attempting to answer i do not know a heap about.. If im wrong somewhere could someone please correct me.
....are they worth it??)..
