i have the bullet suspension kit on mine... dropped about 3/4 inch... good ride.. a bit stiffer than stock... i got the kit without the sway bars... it was $300...the struct/shock are made by tokico...I have the huge speed bumps and never bottom out. i want to go lower and am likely getting HR super sports..

Sorry I mean if I need new shocks and strust. Not springs. I was also thinking about getting B springs. But if my shocks are going to prematurely die. Im just going to get the bullit suspension. Thanks.

Notoriouspig where did you get your suspension for 300.

Okay final question I promise. Which shocks and struts should I get with ford C springs. I have found out that stock ones with the springs will give out. I heard Tokico was good any specific type of Tokico. Thanks again.

I'd get the cheapest possible because if your "flying" through the air your going to need to replace very soon and get an alignment about as often as you fill up with gas.

I have the Tockico Illuminas (adjustables) i'm I ready for a change. The ride is waaay to hard on Houston Roads. I'm going with Ford B springs and Bilsteins in a few weeks hopefully it will feel a little bit more like stock but with a slight drop.

Yes, Think long term if your on a budget, and if you really wanna go cheap. Just cut your stock springs. LOL JK JK I would go with the bullit set up, They drive pretty nice while giving you a good stance.

Got the same kit on mine, but don't have to deal with the same road issues as you have. I was happy with the drop for quite some time which was a little over 1" in front and 1" front. I recently pulled the isolators in front only and it looks much better without any side effects, except the extra 1/4 inch height drop. Need new pics.

In your case either the FRPP/Bullitt/Mach kits would be the way to go since you get the matching shocks at a good price. The ride is different from stock because the springs are specific rate and rebound is kept in check so is should take those jumps just fine now, but you will feel the smaller ones more.

Get the FRPP handling kit, it's what I got. That should give you the drop you're desiring plus you get shocks, struts, springs, and 2 sway bars all for 500. About a 1" drop.

Where did you get that kit from?

Nathen4.6 I hope that you do it to flatter me. Not because you are making fun of me. Haven't you seen the movie Bullit. If Steve McQueen did it. Of course I can. Sure not 5 feet jumps but I atleast fly a few feet. Oh and the jump goes up and then flat so I land on all fours. If this is a sig I'm gonna kick someone ass too.
