JayC · October 25th, 2009, 02:06 PM

Cheap and effective =
Fox-body 4cyl springs( fromNAPA ) up front w/ Lakewood 90/10 struts
Fox-body V8 rear springs (cut)
KYB AGX adjustable rear shocks
Airbag in RR spring
No front swaybar
No rear swaybar
UPR sub-frame connectors
UPR Pro Series Lower Control Arms, solid/spherical ends
UPR Pro Series adjustable uppers, spherical ends
Jegs Poly axle bushings
Torque boxes welded
No quad shocks

Results=

In regards to the quad shocks: you remove 'em completely. If you've got decent LCAs, you don't need 'em anyway, they're just on there because the stamped steel stock LCAs suck.

And Bullitts came with SFCs? Are they the same ones that are put on the convertibles? Got any pics?

ill get some pics up in a lil bit

yep thats a good cheap setup jayc, mine was about the same but had eibach drag springs for the front and rear, upr pro series control arms, 90/10 struts, stock rear shocks, quad shocks removed.

what are quad shocks?

xXJayManZXx17 · November 12th, 2009, 08:07 AM

thats a quad shock

mounder27 · November 12th, 2009, 10:58 AM

I use stock springs that are cut, along with a anti roll bar which is extremly effective low 1.6 60' all day long....

Mustang_GTX · November 12th, 2009, 09:53 PM

wtf do quad shocks do? lmao i thought they were upper control arms all along but i never really got under the car and paid attention to where uppers were

not positive but im sure there there to help with handling

F8L GT · November 12th, 2009, 10:36 PM

They are to reduce wheel hop with the stock stamped steel control arms

The Bullitt SFC's are the same as the ones on Verts= they suck.

May I ask what you used to cut your springs. I am about to toss the Ford C springs I have, and cut my stocks (flame suit on) and would like to kow what others used. Thanks.
