    Bullitt Suspension

    I am getting out of the drag scene and want to change my suspension. Right now I have Eibach drag springs (with airbag), lakewood 70/30's up front and lakewood 50/50's out back. Does anybody have any experience with the Bullitt springs, shocks, and struts on a foxbody. I have a 91 coupe. I think the struts/shocks are a little longer on the SN95's than on the foxes. I was wondering if this would cause any problems. I have a fairly steep entrance to my driveway so I can't lower to much. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Everything will fit. I have Steeda sport springs that were on my 00GT installed on my 91LX. I also have the stock shocks and struts off my 00GT on my 91. They were laying around so I used them. I'm not sure how the ride height would be with bullitt springs on a fox, but they will work. If I was going to buy shocks and struts I'd buy one's specific to a fox.

    I was also thinking of doing FMS B springs with Tokicko HP's. Any other suggestions that come under $450?

    I have the bullitt kit on my car and don't really like the stance it gave me. The front is just as high if not higher than the back, I'm a fan of the raked looked but didn't get it

    I am doing a 5 lug swap at the same time. I will have 94/95 spindles. If I order shocks/struts do I get ones for a 91 (car) or 94/95 (spindles)? Will the newer spindles change the mounting point of the strut?

    Buy the one's for the 91. I have fox body Tokico's on my 00 GT since it's lowered. Like you can see in the pic's they are basically the same other than lenght. The mounting point is the same. The only thing that will really need to be adjusted from the spindles is the tie rods will need to be adjusted out a good bit.
