I see this is kind of an old thread, but I thought I'd contribute anyway.
FRPP- K springs, sway bars, adj. shocks/ struts, bump stops, adj. panhard bar, GT500 front lower control arms, FR500C rear lower control arms, Boss 302S rear lca relocation brackets, Boss 302S adj. tie rod ends/ bumpsteer kit, stock Bullitt strut tower brace Shelby- caster/ camber plates, tubular radiator support, tubular k-member w/ 1/2" engine drop, k-member support plates, a-arm brace, subframe connectors, rear shock tower brace, adj. front sway bar end links, adj. poly rear upper control arm and bracket, panhard support, panhard relocation bracket. Steeda- X5 balljoints Prothane- front lca bushings Eibach- camber bolts (not installed) Caster is 6.9, camber is -1.7, toe is 0. Rear axle weights removed. All aspects of the handling are better. The chassis is WAY stiff, and the car feels much more solid. Pretty much all of the interior creaks and rattles are gone. Cornering is way flatter than stock, and turn in is pretty quick. The steering feels smoother and more precise/ controlled. The car actually brakes better too, as the nose dive is drastically reduced. Wheel hop is completely gone, and although I'm set up for corner carving, she pulls hella hard from a dig. I catch a lot of higher hp cars off guard with that. The ride quality is much firmer than stock, but not harsh at all. She is louder and there's more vibration, but I also have cams and long tubes, so it's whatevers. This is my daily driver, and it's totally fine. I still need to have the rear shock tower brace welded in, so it will actually do something besides look cool in my trunk. I'd also like to switch to a set of mono tube coilovers with much higher spring rates than the FRPP K's (228#/ 199.5#). |

It's is hella fun to drive now, and in corners it feels a lot smaller than it is. |
Man your Bullitt looks killer. Nice job.
My suspension mods are pretty weak right now. Installed are FRPP P-Springs. Stock shocks and struts. Like the comfort for now. Just received BMR rear LCAs and Relocation brackets yesterday. Will be getting them installed as soon as possible. -Alex |

Call Kelly again...He always tells me top or middle at the most never the bottom hole. Currently the top hole is used due to near stock springs...tried the middle and hooked too good. Heard crunching and car pulled hard to one side. Went back to the top hole and the issue went away and 60' went back down...can't get greedy!

You basically confirmed my research was correct, the lower setting the greater the traction. -Alex |

On track is wonderful. Very tight and responsive. Off track even with the KONI's on full soft is aggressive but bearable. Doesn't rub unless you have 4 wheels and tires and a rolling jack in the back. haha
Wheels are Forgestar CF10s in brushed titanium. 20x10 and 20x11. 275 invos on front and 305 555rs in rear. They are street duty now. Track duty will be the Cobra R's on 285...most likely Hoosier A6s. |
