Default Question About Lowering

Ok, not to start another debate about GT/BULLITTS, but if I were to buy lowering spring for a GT that says 1.5" all around, and the bullitt is already .75" lower than a GT, then would I only lose .75"? I know the math is right but just wondering if it's really this simple or if I'm missing something. Thanks.

I would guess the only reason the bullitt is .75 lower than the GT is because it has different springs. (If the are different?)

So if the springs are different and you put the stock gt springs in, you would be at GT height.

Now take the gt lowering springs you want to buy that say they will lower the GT 1.5 inches. You car will only be Lowered another .75... on top of the stock bullitt springs.

Thats the way I would look at it, but I have no idea about that car and if it is heavier or other factors not known.

The bullitt comes with different shocks/struts/springs and stabars. Your gonna take .75" off of whatever you see advertised.. plus you're most likely not gonna get a drop 1.5" lower than the stock gt as most springs vary alot in quality and durability.
