So long as the dampers and springs are well-matched, putting the Mach/Bullitt setup on a lighter vehicle like the V6 will only make the handling improvement GREATER than it was on the V8.

and the new shocks and struts will take a bit away from it but nothing majour. the spring rate will be pretty low due to the lack of weight. |

It seems like the suspension companies agree with that sentiment as well, because most (if not all) don't make separate dampers for the V6 and GT... Bilstein, for instance. Why build an inferior system for the V6, when you could just use one for the GT and get better performance.
