Fullspeedahead- what's good?
I have a few $ to spend for some FSA items - what stuff do you guys think are must-have for Road ?

FSA stuff is generally okay, nothing really exceptional. go for the higher end stuff- SLK at least or higher.
K-Force stuff is not bad, the seatpost is decently light and is has been reviewed to be one of the best when it comes to damping vibration.
K force brakes and cranks are also pretty decent. I've used them and although not up to Dura Ace level quality they are pretty good and have nice graphics.
SLK range is generally quite heavy for the money. notbad but I would rather go with K force.
Stems and Bars are nothing exceptional. their compact drop bars are unique in their dimensions so if they fit you you might like them.
If you can get Vision wheels ( Vision is a subsidiar of FSA) do give them a go. they are quite underrated.

The old 5-arm SL-K crank was decently light for the money (at street price, RRP was nuts) in it's BB30 guise. Not sure how the current 386/four arm model stacks up.
Something you wouldn't ordinarily consider, maybe? TT bars or such?

I agree with most comments. There are better and/or nicer products for the money.
