Is The Bullitt Suspension A Noticeable Difference Over Stock 02?

i don't do autocrossing. i just want a mix of better handling and better traction. i have 4.10's with stock rubber but i don't want a pure drag race setup. i only go to the track once a year. if you buy adjustables can you adjust them for better handling or better traction. if so how do you do it and how hard is it. i thought it was around $500 for adjustables.
adjustables are NOT hard at all. all you do is turn a nob, and you get a stiffer or softer ride, and it dose change handeling. as far as price, i got my agx's, shipped to my door, off ebay, for 430 bucks, brand new in box, with new quad shocks also. there was a guy on there selling the entire kit for 375.
and if you look around, you'll find someone with a prokit for very cheap. i got mine at a ramchargers whearhouse sale for 150 bucks still in the box, with the stickers and all. blistiens are over rated if you ask me, and yes some adjustables are expensive, tockico, koni, yeah there alot of money, and i suppose you could even say the kyb's. trust me tho, you'll love adjustables. think of changeing your ride, and handeling from just turning a nob.
 
I have the KYB AGX adjustables and the FRPP C springs and it was a total of about 475 shipped to my door so comparable to the bullit kit.

The KYB AGX are better than the bullit shocks/struts and the c springs are firmer for a better handling car, but worse ride.

I have heard the sway bars on the bullit package are not that much different, not sure though.

The bullit setup is an entry level package for a good value but imo buying better stuff is the way to go even though it may be a few hundred more.

better is a relative word. other packages may be better performing, but not necessarily better quality...just to make the distinction. the sway bars in the bullitt packages are much better than stock. i think they made more of a difference than the springs/struts, because the change in body roll on curvy roads was easily the biggest difference i noticed

The GT rear swaybar is stiffer than the bullitt rear. The GT one is solid and thicker, vs. hollow i believe I heard.

i can't argue about stiffness because i had no means of testing it....but the bullitt sway bars were both visibly bigger when i installed them.
