Ok so I am leaning toward lowering my Bullitt with the FRPP spring kit. Koni's will come later.
Please show me your lowered Bullitts and let me know which springs/dampers you went with. Thanks.
OK; not the best shots to see actual fender clearance, as they're taken from down low and at an angle. I get about 2 finger space in front and about 3 in back. I was hoping for a more level look, but still have a rake.
Springs were supposed to be Vogtland GT500 (but I think they're Vogtland GT), and dampers are Koni yellow.

Yes, and yes. Ride is firmer all around, but not much harsher, except on rough, nasty roads. I've got the dampers set at one turn up from softest, but still need to experiment with them. I don't have the camber set yet, but car still feels more stable in canyons (with lots of visible -camber). I haven't checked toe since lowering, so it's likely off too. I'm trying to borrow a friend's camber gauge, and I'll be getting some cam bolts (ordered 4) next week. Hopefully I can have it dialed in a bit better by next weekend.

I think that depends on how much lower the front is...Mine dropped about 1-1/2".
If it were only about 3/4"-1", I may have gotten away with the additional -camber. Got a bit too much negative camber now, from the looks of it. Won't know for sure until I measure.
I'm guessing that the Eibach Pro-Kit (or FRPP) springs will lower a similar amount +or- a 1/4". Best be prepared with plates installed or cam bolts in hand. I chose the cheaper factory mounts over camber plates, believing that they'll be quieter (it's a street car). Hoping that the Ingalls cam bolts from Summit work out well; they're only $8.95 each.
Wish I couldpost some pics for you but not supporting member. I went with the full FRPP suspension kit. Added max Motorsports camber/caster plates and adjustable panhard bar. Car handles great without being too harsh. Especially good now that I have my GT500 takeoffs on.

Steeda sport springs. Lowered the front 1 inch and back 1 1/4in if I remember correctly. Makes for a very cluky ride until the tires are warmed up. Rode like stock when I was in Myrtle Beach.... The warmer, the better the ride.
Luc T, that thing sits very nice!

DaytonaDave's Bullitt.
Which I also think sits really nice, I hope he dont mind but I kinda just
ordered the same springs and spacers he has

Im running the Eiback sportlines. I still need to get a panhard bar and some camber bolts. Ive put 4,000 miles on them in the rough Chicago streets with no problems. When I save up enough I will most likely do shocks/struts, camber, and panhard bar all at once.
very nice i went with the ford racing which claims a 1.5 all around im happy with them i just wish i would have gone with the eibach sports for a lower stance
JC- The Eibach Sports are the same as the FRPP springs... the different specs simply come from different measuring vehicle weights...
In other words, if you had the Eibachs, your stance would not change.
