Need some help with suspension. My car has lowering springs on it now, probably 1.75 inch drop, rides like $HIT. I don't know the springs, but tuesday I'm gonna have the car on a lift so I'm gonna try and find out exact springs that are on it.

Anyways, I'm open for a lot of options, the car is 99% daily driver and don't really need adjustable shocks/struts. I know the Bilstein shocks/struts are very good and are leaning toward them.
How well would the Bullitt suspension package work for me? For 450 brand new springs that would help with the rate of the tokico/ford shocks/struts? Anybody here have this setup and are pleased?

I want to keep a low ride and stay down at least 1.25inch. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Also, can you tell a difference in ride quality with a coil over kit compared to a good shock/strut set up with lowering springs?

 

The shocks and struts arent the correct spring rate for your springs if its a 1.25 drop, more than likely. If I were you, id find out what springs I have, find the rate, and match them with the Maximum Motorsport series Bilstein shocks and struts that are a close match.

 

if you want 1.2 inch the bullit suspension system isnt gonna do it..IMO theyre cheap for a reason...buy H&Rs, and then buy diff shocks and struts...a little more yes...but worth it

 

Well I'm gonna find out the springs I have. I like the drop it gives right now but ride quality is very bad. Say the springs I have are a really cheap bad quality brand. Will mathcing them with the correct shocks/struts such as bilstein make it much better and ride quality greatly increase? Or would you just buy a whole new set of springs instead and then get shocks/struts if it still wasnt improved?

 

Get h&r Sport springs and match them with Maximum motorsports bilstien shocks and struts.

 

I'll prolly just get that Starter Package then if my current springs suck
