The "street" FRS needs camber plates (or I'm going to eat tires) and alignment (duh), oil cooler and I'm guessing a BBK will save me money long term.
That's probably around $3k since I can get some stuff (BBK, at the least) at whole sale.

BBK will definitely save you money in the long term, it might be nice to be able to choose which BBK you run instead of already having one, though.
Similarly with the cage, it would probably be better to have it built to the exact spec you want rather than dealing with whatever someone else had done. Additionally, you'd want to make sure you can fit in the seat in the "prepped" FRS, or you might need to get another right away.
I wouldn't forget rear lower control arms as well for the "street" car, the rear end doesn't have easy camber adjustment from the factory.
Overall I think your buddies car has less potential headaches to deal with, and the extra wheels are a nice bonus too.
