Bullitt Handling Kit Install

Bullitt Handling Kit Install
If you've owned a V-6 mustang you know that the suspension is a wreck. Driving that car is like navigating a 220 ft barge through rough waters.
My intentions:
1. Give my car a meaner stance.
2. Keep my car's geometry from going to hell (which is what most drops do.)
3. Add 10-20mph to tight corners.
My Solution:
1. Stick with motorcraft and FRPP parts. (just my "thing")
My Conclusion:
1. Happy with the drop.
2. Happier than a pig in **** with the performance.
3. Even happier still about the ease of install.
4. A corner I used to be able to take at 45 (with mild skipping) I can now take a 70 (with hints of skipping) - 25mph increase in corners!
5. The BULLITT handling kit is a great upgrade for the price!
6. ... and most importantly, my car's geometry wasn't ruined in the slightest bit, if anything, it's much improved.
Now I just need the bump steer kit, x2 ball joints, lower control arms, sub frame connectors, cobra brakes, and a front tower brace and I'll be knocking a minute off my lap times.
Here's some pics from the install:

I'm starting to think the lack of drop is from the lack of weight in the engine compartment compared to a gt. I know a stock bullitt sits lower than my sixer is right now, and I don't think a stock bullitt has any other lowering addons like performance control arms or different ball joints.
Oh and by the way venom, there's very few instances that I like the clamshell body style (the name I use on pre '99s, post foxes) but you just did it right! The only car I really like in that body style are the white cobras for some reason. I think they are just gorgeous!

Very nice 6-er. You really did it right. bFunny thing about car like that is that you can have punks in Civics at lights that won't even try to race ya. The car looks too fast and like there might be some money under the hood. No one would misstake it for a 6, that's for sure.
Great job. All you guys with 6'ers, this is what you should aspire to.
