Yeah it looks beefier than stock. I like it. Do you know where you can find them? They don't have them at american muscle and I couldn't find them on ebay either

Salvage yard will be your best bet. FWIW, they aren't easy to find. Keep looking in the classifieds and I'm sure they will come up eventually. Someone should really make a set of them though. I'd imagine they would be a big seller.

Are the bullit brakes upgraded from the gt ones? I loveeee your huge rotors and red calipers with those wheels. That's the perfect combination of classic muscle and modern styling

The Bullitt Mustang came with the big 2 piston PBR calipers (same calipers as the Cobra) and 13" brembo rotors. They used to sell the kit for a good price... $250 for the calipers and rotors, but I don't know that anyone sells that particular kit anymore. I was fortunate enough to buy them when they were cheap though.

Late Model Restoration sells them... but they say SVE on the caliper instead of the running pony. I don't think Ford makes them anymore.

Click to expand...

HAHA definitely not! Its lowered about 1.5" from stock Bullitt height (2.25" from stock GT height) in the front and a little less than that in the rear. Stance is everything for me, and not only does the car have a sweet stance, but it rides like a dream with the IRS and slightly softer 250lb from coilover springs.

As for the mismatched tires, I simply could not afford the extra $250 for the KDW's in the front as well. The NS-2's were on sale through OE Wheels for $127 each for the fronts which is a great price for the size, and they got pretty decent ratings online. I figure for the price, I could buy 2 sets of them for the price of the KDW's, plus the tread pattern is fairly similar. I don't regret the purchase at all.

Thanks for all the compliments guys, I really appreciate it!

I needed new tires and figured now is the time to upgrade my wheels if I wanted to. I LOVEE the stock Bullitt look, and wanted to keep it clean and simple so I got a set of 18x9 and 18x10 Anthracite Bullitt's wrapped in 265/35/18 Nankang NS-2's and 295/35/18 BFG KDW's from OE Wheel in FL. Great customer service aside from the fact that someone stole one of the rears from UPS! I received the replacement yesterday after they sent a new one out, no questions asked. I'll have better pics within the next few days, but heres a few at my apartment. Enjoy!

Now I need to figure out how to convince the wife I need those rims and suspension set up. That looks really nice man. It has a very clean look to it.

Thanks very much! Unfortunately the suspension on this car is very costly, but you could get a very similar stance with just springs/shocks and struts. Good luck!
