My thought process/Wish me luck May 10, 2009, 12:48:56 AM I ordered the Bullitt/FRPP 5400 kit today. This gets me a decent drop, much increased spring rates, and, best of all sn95 front struts with rear shocks that still fit a fox car(perhaps they are longer as well?) Im not too concerned with the sway bars if they fit and work out thicker than the TC ones(anybody know the diameter of TC bars BTW) Ill use them if not Ill have something to sell. Has anybody ever tried this before? Am I in over my head? I will make this kit work on my car(I have a bit of chassis engineering experience and some decent fab skills) just wondering if its been done before. Quote Selected
Careful! Reply #1 – May 10, 2009, 02:02:27 AM You can't drop these cars too much because of the suspension geometry. SN95 also reduces your overall suspension travel vs the T-bird struts. Mustang shocks are too short for a T-bird. Maybe check Chuck's adapters?OTOH, all that stuff really makes the car fun. Quote Selected

My thought process/Wish me luck Reply #3 – May 10, 2009, 10:22:26 AM from what ive seen of guys on this site using standard sn95 and mach1 coils, the bullits will get you quite a bit of drop in the front. im fairly positive they will be too low in the rear due to the differences in the chassis/weight. take a look at the spring info sticky, too.i am running sn95 front struts on my car, and chucks adapters should get you setup for the rear shocks.

My thought process/Wish me luck Reply #6 – May 11, 2009, 04:09:49 PM Okay late model restoration supply doesnt have the Bullitt kit in stock and um they really have no idea of the interchangeability between our cars and the rest of the ford line up. Any suggestions as to what I can get for a suspension. The cars first track appearance is June 7.Does anyone know the length and diameter of the stock springs? Quote Selected
