Default Bullitt

I was considering getting this set of bullitt shocks/struts because I've heard they get the daily driving job done well at a good cost. Anybody know what tokicos they use?

What do you mean? If you use them with C springs then they will improve handling. Is that what you want to know? They are roughly the same as the Mach 1 shocks/struts.

If you don't want a somewhat bumpy ride then I really wouldn't recommend lowering the car and getting shocks/struts.

What are you wanting them for? comfort? handling? dragging?

If you aren't going to lower, just get some new shocks and struts (assuming your's are shot). The Bullitt set up is designed for use with the Bullitt springs. They are custom valved Blues.

What is with all of the V6 guys wanting the stock ride height? It looks horrible...[:'(]

Why do you want the Bullitt shocks/struts if you aren't going to lower it? They are used to improve handling. Just get some stock replacements if you need them otherwise don't worry about it. Why do you want luxury handling anyway, it isn't going to happen on a Mustang. lmao

rob, spend the extra 200 on the full bullitt kit. cut 1/2 coil off the front springs. then youll be maybe .5" lower, nto much, and handle SO much better
