Dont expect much drop in ride height, maybe .75 inch at the most. The people that have it say it helps stiffen the car tremendously, and also helps with brake dive. All in all its a good system, but Ive heard the sway bars are kind of a waste as one of them is the same size as the GT one you take off.

I think that this is one of the best values for any Mustang part package on the planet PERIOD You get a lot for the money, sure, it's not for everyone. But, for someone like me who has nearly 60k on his car, and needs shocks, struts and want to drop the height a tad, you can't beat it.

BTW, who sells it for $375? It is $410 at most places.

was that shipped? Is it from a supplier that regularly sells these, or a one-time deal?

it's 50 to ship, which would bring it to 425.. unless there is somewhere out there that has it for less than that shipped? i see you are looking to get tone to, i'll be looking around online this weekend and will post the better deals i come across.

Try www.johnbleakleyford.com I remember seeing them sell it for 330.00. Dont know how much shipping is, but its worth the call.

Heres the direct link.

I have 1200 mi. on My Bullitt kit and think it is worth every penny!! the car is dropped .75 inch, which is enough for the "bomb cratered" roads around where I live. The sway bars are tuned for the springs and shocks he front one is bigger than a GT bar , and the rear is actually smaller. This reduces understeer and gives the front end more bite in the corners. The car launches as well as it did with the stock suspension. Over all I am very impressed. :icon_thum

Default another option

If you are just looking to lower the car a little and change shocks and struts you can always get the mach 1 shocks/struts. These are made by Tokico for the mach1 and carry a Ford part #. The are $210 shipped. Then you can get whatever springs you like. Personally I went with the Steeda sport springs from mustangtuning while they had them on sale. I figured I will do the sway bars later.

Just something else to think about.
