I was after lowered, but on a budget. A balance of quality vs. cost out of pocket. At about $750 before shipping costs right now for the goods. Shipping has me at $950 roughly.


Parts list Purchased:I'm also contemplating getting some 20mm (3/4") wheel spacers with new studs to set my rear tires just flush with the fender edge. Running 275 wides out back.


Is there anything else I absolutely need? Remember this is a budget drop. Car only has 3,400 miles so I'm re-using the OEM Bullitt shocks/struts for now. I don't race, just some spirited driving.

btw, what is up with the Foose Stallion springs? they are FRPP, but can't find info on them anywhere. but at $100, couldn't pass them up vs. $210 for the FRPP "K" springs

wheel spacers arent anything you need, ive heard reactions going either way bad or good. i know that if you track or do autox the spacers are a no no.

Tylus

No track or corners...just straight line wheelspin fun

I know some guy running spacers with Superduties and they tow travel trailers...so strength isn't an issue for me. It's a toss-up between tint or spacers right now. thinking tint is going to win overall


I am a complete novice on suspension stuff. anything I'm missing here

I can't recommend spacers even for that kind of use, not at least in the thickness (3/4") that you're considering. Lug nuts can loosen slightly, and that extra 3/4" leverage means more bending stress on the studs from torque and launch impact loading - and that is a concern.

I agree, they aren't ideal. Just saying they have the potential to be completely strong enough for our purposes without any problems.

they are off the table now though. I'd rather get the car tinted. someday I'll get new rims with better offset instead.

Nice Bullitt.

Tylus

she is finally getting there. between the lowering, the SuperSnake stripes and the window deletes it should look pretty damn good

I am glad to see you say this!

I was interested in spacers at one time and through the research I did I decided that spacers are a Big NO NO, no matter what kinda of driving you do. Sorry for .

You will enjoy the tint much better, and start saving up for some new wheels!
