Bullitt Supension on 94/95 pictures

Great chart above!!!

So the Bullitt's front sway bar is 1.5mm larger than the GT, but the rear sway bar is 2mm smaller. Any reason not to switch to both Bullitt sway bars? I would think that they may work well together, but then I've got no real idea as to their exact importance or effect.

How close in specs are the 1994 stock suspension to the GT listed above (which must be a newer GT)?


It's not just size that matters, note that the bullitt front sway bar is tubular instead of solid. It looks like the bullitt suspension has less bar in the rear, but, you have to remember that those sway bars were designed to work with those springs, shocks, and struts. The sway bar is easy to swap out anyway. Try them both and see which one you like. :shrug: :nice:

I put two and two together;). Who else would have remembered my ride from gT? Then there was the blown oxfard white GT in your sig, but I already knew who it was before even seeing it.

If i remember correctly, It was you who pointed me to the kit, so i've got you to thank.

Yes I remember. I was going to buy it for myself back then but never got around to it. So how much has it settled over the past few months? Is it a 1 inch drop total?
 
I think I'll give the whole kit a try and keep the old parts around. Christmas is just around the corner! :D

Thanks for the info on the sways DougNuts. I need to do some reading on suspension and just how it all works together. I know the basics and the completely obvious information, just not the "system" aspect of it.

Thanks again to all.
 
I plan on going with the Bullitt kit too. I've already got lowering springs, but I have no idea when the shocks and struts were last replaced so I wanted to go to something like Tokicos...and I was advised to replace the springs while I was at it since if my current shocks/struts are old and tired, the springs are working overtime.

So I'm keeping an eye out for a good price on the Bullitt kit, but that C-spring w/Mach 1 shocks/struts doesn't sound too bad either. I think I'll just go with the Bullitt kit though, because all parts are pre-matched to work together and the Bullitt always gets good suspension reviews in the mags. :nice:
 
for the money wouldn't it just be easier to go with a coil over setup? i know you don't get the sway bars but...if you ever plan on doing a tq arm set up everyone recomends you get a small front sway bar and alittle bit stiffer rear. So with this kit you would just have to go back and redo everything.
 
I did alot of reseach trying to put Bullitt and/or Mach 1 suspension on my 90 lx 5.0. They were on sale @ http://www.fordpartsnetwork.com I learned it wasnt going to be optimum.
I later found http://mustangracing.mrt-direct.com
Scott Hoag headed up the Bullitt and Mach 1 program for Ford. He left Ford
and started MRT. He sells the MRT street springs that are improvements from Bullitt which was lowered 3/4" from GT. THese springs lower 1-1/4". You dont want to go much lower. Then add Tokico Blues all around. Also the lighter spring rate in the back is to enjoy daily driving while still greatly improve handling. These are much better than the Ford "B" or "C" springs
 
Good info to know. I started this thread over a year ago and decided to go with the Bullitt kit a few months later. However, the Bullitt kit was on backorder for a long time, so I decided to go another route.

I've got a little more than half of the MM Road & Track Kit and couldn't be happier. Spring rates are high, but with Bilsteins daily driving is fine. Now I need a motor to keep up with my suspension. :) This summer, I'll be the rear end all done with the MM torque arm and panhard bar and whatever else I don't have from the package.

I'm lowered about 1.4 inches and the rear now has the same gap as the front. I'm glad I changed my mind for a more agressive setup.
