i have it and i love it. it made a huge difference over stock. no more nose dive while braking, alot less body roll, and even the ride is better.

you can get it for a bit cheaper. check www.gefracing.com and www.stangstore.com . Its a better performing package, but i'd get bilstein shocks for the rear. i will be replacing mine later

They are different than the C springs. C springs are a little rougher riding in front and drop the car 1.5" front, 1" rear about.. The bullitt springs drop .75" all around

I've had my Bullitt kit for about a year and a half. We also replaced the stock rubber bushings and isolaters with Energy Suspension polyurethane goodies. It really tightened things up very nicely! It's a little tougher to launch at the track now but the improvement in handling and everyday driving manners was well worth it. I just discovered yesterday that my RR shock is leaking though... probably a good time to switch to some Tokico adjustables.

Uhhhh.... is this a trick question? Oh, wait.... you're thinking gas charge leak. what I can see is the oil leaking down the shock, not real bad though.

I have also had the bullitt suspension for about two years now...and it is definately better than stock and offers a half ass drop...it's noticable but barely. If your looking for a good looking drop you might want to go with some different springs...but if you want something right in the middle of stock and a good drop then this would be the one other than that the ride is great and for the price when I got it...it couldn't be beat. I have some pics I will post in as soon as I find them.

I would say the only real negative that I can think of is the fact that it only lowers about an inch. I mean for the price you can't get a better ride IMO I paid around $330 ish shipped...I got it when it first came out from Gefracing.com

The ride is a little more bouncy or tight not really sure how to put it...it's nothing harsh..I really like it. Like I said my only real complaint is the fact that it's not lower....but cornering is better, less nose dive when stopping..the car is just a tighter feeling overall.

Where did you find that at? I found this but I don't know if it is just the normal Bullitt package or better. I am realy interested in doing a mild suspension build and the Bullitt package looks to be the best bang for the buck.

Interesting. My LR shock is bleeding to death as well... Problem with the Bullitt suspension? Oh, and finding a dealer with those particular shocks is a *****. Anyone have the bullitt setup with rear bilsteins? Might consider switching....

I'd say it's probably a fairly uncommon problem but even at that, it sucks. I've been thinking about switching to adjustables anyway so I can alter them from daily driving duty to dragstrip duty so I guess this is just another reason to carry that out. If you haven't replaced your leaky one by the time I get my new ones, I'll let you have my good one at an extraordinarily cheap rate. As for locating the parts I've got a couple of great sources bookmarked at home. When I get home I'll post 'em up here for ya.
