I've been getting my newly acquired 88GT ready for Open Track events. Last night, LMan and I installed Bullitt springs, struts, shocks, and Maximum Motorsports Camber/Caster plates. The ride is notably firmer but not harsh, and the handling is very much improved. We adjusted the camber/caster plates all the way in and all the way back to maximize negative camber and positive caster. I failed to take any measurements or pictures of before and after, so don't ask how much lower it sits, cause I just don't know. Others have reported up to a 1" drop.

If you're interested in more than just straightline performance, I recommend this setup. You can get the whole Bullitt kit here. The swaybars won't fit a Foxbody, but you can pawn those off on someone with an SN95.

The springs fit the Fox-bodies? Interesting.

They bolt right in with absolutely no other modifications.

didnt think the parts would fit the foxes. all the suspension parts have different PN's for every body style. company's could have saved money and just released one kit for all
