Installed stock 03 Mach 1 springs over the weekend. After a year of internet research and reading every thread on the internet about Bullitt/Mach springs, I decieded they were the best choise for my goals. I wanted improved suspension feel and no more than .75" drop. These springs met all goals.
I cant believe how improved the chassis is overall with Mach springs vs the stock springs. Ride has a performance feel but still very smooth. Im very impressed with how smooth and stable the car feels on the freeway. No more floaty feel the stock springs had. I am also running Koni STR-T struts and shocks. Perfect match with these springs.
To get the .75 drop in the front i installed springs with no isolators. No extra NVH. I may put the upper isolator back in to raise the front a hair, but will wait until I decide on what new wheels to go with. The rear actally stayed the same. The factory isolators were worn away. I used the stock Mach isolators so That must be why the height stayed the same. I plan to get MM adjustable lower arms so im not to concerned with rear height.
Any one looking for a slight drop and better over all suspension/chassis feel should consider these springs. I think the Bullitt spring would have dropped it a full 1" which would have been to much for my goal.
Fender height now with Mach 1 springs, stock rims and tire size, 3 core radiator and AOD trans
Front 26"
Rear 26.5"
