Wanted to know which suspension package was better the Mach 1 or the Bullitt. Im looking to lower my 2003 mustang but want to keep it close to stock as possible, just want to get rid of some of the gap. Would like to know what you guys think.

that doesnt exist and you know it. honestly though, i am really tempted to make a full blown suspension FAQ for all the standard "which springs" and whatnot.

personal favorite is HR race springs, poly isolators, bilsteins, and MM CC plates.

the bullitt and mach 1 springs are basically the same thing. they sit about 0.5 - .75" lower than a stock GT (thats not enough IMO)....the problem is that they always look like the front is higher than the back

no matter how much people argue it, look at a pic of any stock mach or bullitt and you will see that the back looks a tad lower. Im really really picky about stuff like that and cant stand the look.

I agree with the front being higher than the rear! I bought the Bullit "kit" only to replace the springs with the C springs. The C springs are my favorites. I have had them on a 94GT, 95GT and now my 2000GT.

i think they forgot one of the main issues......they aren't taking into account that with H&R super sports, you will scrape on speed bumps and have front bumper clearance issues with a chin spoiler....

it sounded like you wanted a conservative/moderate drop, not really a low stance. in this case your best bet would be H&R Sport or FRPP C springs.
