Bullitt springs...should I? Post pics?

[Mustang5L5]

Local guy near me is selling a set of Bullitt springs.

I REALLY hate the C springs in my car. It handles well, but too damn stuff and low up front.

WIll i like the bullitt springs? I have Tokico Blue struts and shocks.

I'm concerned at how high the front end will be. Will it be pretty much back to stock height? or will it be still somewhat lowered?

Anyone got pics of the front?? I have MM adjustable rear arms, so the rear I can always adjust.

It will ride better, but won't look good. I know you will doubt me when I say this, but if I was you, I would get those Bullitt springs, & cut just a tad off. If you do that, you will get the look & ride quality you are looking for as long as you have good shocks & struts...

Maybe i'll pass. I kinda like the stance i have now. It's just a little stiff with the FMS C springs. Maybe i'll just do a front coil-over kit

i have c springs too and i hate them, i also however have the blues you have. from what ive heard the blues are close to stock damning. i would do bilsten hd shocks and struts with road and track or h&r super sport springs. depending on what you want comfort/ride quality wise.

coil overs according to jason make the car too stiff. he told me i would never want to drive it if i did coil overs

It all depends on the spring rate you run, they can be either stiff or soft. They have rates ranging from 150lbs to over 700lbs.... Actually, I think they ride better than regular springs as long as you have a good quality setup... Coilovers are your BEST bet to achieve the handling, ride quality, & stance you are looking for....

what about b-springs? i would think that the progressive rate would make for a better ride quality than the linears, unless im totally off?

Looks like your missing 3 lug nuts in that pic.

 

[Mustang5L5]

The lugs are there. 3 are the stock open face lugs are two are the acorn style.

I gotta pick up a matching set of bullitt acord lugs for when i put my bullitt wheels on

i have 500lb front and 250lb rear, with bilstein MM3 race valved shock and struts, sure in small parking lots it feels like a truck but when driving/cruising/racing they cant be beat

EPIK is right. I have cut springs on my 03 Cobra. Stock, cut springs that is. It rides awesome, and looks great. Everybody in the snake pit at Mustang Alley was asking me what kind of springs I had because they hated the Eibachs that they bought.

I have a set of 4cyl springs in my car and it rides great. when the engine was in it it sat about as high as yours. Never bottomed out.

If you wanna sell those c springs, i'd be willing to purchase said springs...

I have '01 Bullitt springs. I don't think it looks bad at all but it did change the handling for the better and the ride is great. the other supension peices add to it and you have most of that. The bullitt or mach springs seem to be a pretty good upgrade to the fox and really improve the ride/handling and it does drop the nose lower than stock but you are not going to get the slammed look with the bullitts or machs.

Nope, b-springs suck for ride height. I have them and I am going to a coilover set up.
