The Bullitt suspension is an excellent kit, however don't expect a massive drop. You might get an inch but it will not be much. Above all you will tighten up your handling considerably. The new struts/shocks and the revised spring rates will definately be an improvement from stock.

It's a well thought-out kit for the money.

I'm interested in this kit also. I've heard lots of positive comments about it from members who have it already. When I can get the extra money, this will probably be my next upgrade.

I paid $99 for FMS C springs, and $180 for the Mach1 shocks and struts. I got the shocks/struts from a local Ford dealership. I don't think you really need to the swaybars and such. That is basically the same setup as the Bullitt.

I like the drop it gave me as well as the fact that it is a perfect ride for a daily driver.

Are Guys That Get These Kits Also Going With Caster Chamber Plates. I Have Talked To Scott Hoag (mrt) And He Has A Nice Kit Which Is Pretty Much The Bullit Kit, And He Said That C/c Plates Are Not Needed, B/c The Drop Is Only About I In. Also His Kit Costs $570 For The Springs, Shocks/struts. He Claims It Is A Bit Better Than The Bullit Suspension Handling Kit.

Why caps on every word? Interesting. I have the Bullitt kit and I would say that caster/camber kits would be a good addition. Back when I was running my soft P Zeros I could definetly tell that the insides of the tires were wearing much quicker. With my near stock tires now, there isnt too much of a wear but it would be good to have. The kit only lowers it about 3/4" to 1". I would like it maybe 1/2" lower or so, especially in the rear but its definetly an improvement. The kit rides perfectly I think considering I only let it loose on the street from time to time and dont race. Much less slop, less body roll in the turns, less front end dive during braking and just a stiffer feel which I like but some dont. You can feel the bumps and potholes more with this kit. But I've had it for almost three years now and it still feels completely as good as it did when I installed it. Its a very quality kit. Gene Evans screwed up the order when I bought it but was quick to fix it. They only gave me three springs.

This kit, gears and the intake are by far the most enjoyable mods I've made thusfar

Does anybody know if this kit is available yet? A friend of mine tried to order it a few weeks ago from GEF and it was on backorder with no ETA from Ford Racing. They already had more than 10 orders waiting.
