I love the Bullitt Suspension in my 92 GT, it handles much better than when it was stock!

I have Koni for my quads and struts, with stock springs. Seems to be good.

What does the "Bullitt suspension" consist of... just different springs and shocks? Are the springs the same as FMS B springs or something else?

it has swaybay struts shocks and springs. in a sn car they lower about an inch. in a fox i dont think it will lower it at all. the shocks and struts are specially valved for the springs. (i have done some research) I decided to go with fms c class springs cause they lower more and have a similar spring rate to the bullitt/mach 1 springs. you can get the shocks and struts by them selves for around 200 i think through downs ford. i have not picked up any yet.

It came with Springs, Struts, and Shocks. The Shocks and Struts are Tokicos, after install on my 92 GT they dropped the car about 3/4" all the way around and the car has a slight rake, the front is 1/4" Lower in the front than the rear. Some so called Bullitt kits are thrown together pieces and have some Mach 1 parts and may not lower a Fox Body at all, but I got the real Bullitt stuff!
