Bullitt shocks/struts

neverfastenough1 · April 16th, 2010, 07:56 PM

Been searching and can't find them anywhere except with the kit. Anyone know where I can get them?

i think they are the same as the mach 1's if that helps at all.

Thanks for the reply, but unfortunately they have different part numbers. The Mach is set up for drag and the Bullitt is set up for street. I guess its off to the dealer tomorrow.

Apparently the shocks for one. Sway bar is different also, or at least the Bullit kit comes with one. I think the springs are the same with the Bullitt and Mach, at least the spring rates are. The bullit has C-springs which I have, and I wanted the shocks to match because my stockers don't work well with c-spring rate.

The fronts measured the same as the Mach 1, but the Bullitt rear shocks are stiffer than the Mach. The Mach 1 rides noticeably softer than the Bullitt, even though they have the same spring rates. The swaybars are larger on the Bullitt also, but still kind of wimpy. I swapped to a 30mm front from a 98 GT and the 28mm rear from a 95 Cobra.

I have found the struts by themselves, but unfortunately, it's cheaper to buy the entire kit than just the shocks and struts nowadays.

got ya. yea i just have eibach shocks and struts with their springs, I love that set up.

Bullitt5339 · April 16th, 2010, 09:23 PM

The FRPP "C" springs are very aggressive compared to most aftermarket springs. They are also linear, so there's no comfort zone like the Eibach's progressive rate springs.

neverfastenough1 · April 16th, 2010, 09:25 PM

What would be a comparable shock that would go with the c-springs?

Bullitt5339 · April 16th, 2010, 09:32 PM

The Tokico Blues are almost the same as the Bullitt shocks and struts. If you want to spend just a few more dollars and get a much better shock, go with the Koni STR.T's from Jegs. Better than the Tokicos and the stock Bullitts, and only $350ish.
