Hey Randy;

What is your opinion of the Bullitt Suspension kit 5400-A. How much to buy and ship to 99353? Got any in stock?

BTW: 02 GT vert.

its a great kit for a handling package for the price, but we lost our Frpp warehouse last month and have no cheap acces for this part. might want to check wth the guys here at M/T and see what they offer, sorry

A few things:

1 - I have that kit on my car and it is spectacular. I love it. Price is right even at full list....you get a lot for the money. For someone looking for a nice setup for a DD car, this is a great option. For a track car, it probably is not agressive enough and too hard for doing a lot of drag racing.

2 - It lowers the car nicely, but not a lot. So if you are going for the "dropped look", you will need to cut the springs or get different springs. I think the car looks "just right" with this kit. No more "4x4" but it doesn't look rice either.

3 - MT does not sell this kit.

4 - Hey Randy, what do you mean that you lost your FRPP warehouse? Does this affect other items? Is this temporary?

well the warehouse we bought most of our Frpp stuff got out of the performance business on september 1st 2005 so it left me out in the cold, looking for another supplier of Frpp parts. I looked into becomming an Frpp dealer (WD) and its $$$ at 30k up front on the buy-in and then you have to buy 3k a month, now I'd have NO problem wth the 3k a month but the 30k inital buy in is a killer and since car sales are down, the dealer princible does not want to come off 30k att, maybe in the spring when things turn-around.

now I can buy direct from Frpp but I dont get much of a price break and if you dont order $1500.00 in parts, they hammer you pretty hard on shipping charges. I have one customer who runs NHRA Pro Stock(Jim Cunningham) who I do this for because any of his purchases are allways over the $1500.00 mark so shipping charges are not an issue.

1,2- no racing, just want to improve look and nadling with getting a harsh ride.

3- Hoping that they will get the kit or offer up something similar for a GREAT price.

You could also do like me and piece one together yourself. I got Steeda sport springs, mach 1 shocks and struts (close to the bullitt) and some new isolators and it handles like a dream. Now, you can get the bullitt swaybars for like 60 bucks, but Ive heard they are close to the same size as the stock ones, so you might not notice a diff. with those. And yes, the frpp package is a great buy.

Do y'all know if the kit comes with instructions??
