Haha I know right I had to read that a few times. Its logical tho. The driver side constantly has 200 extra pounds. I'm planning on lowering it soon so we'll see How it looks then

You might see the same ride height mismatch. I understand this to be from some of the manufacturing variations when these cars were assembled at the old Dearborn Assembly Plant.

There are adjustable spring perches in the rear of my '01. I had to get one side jacked up higher than the other to even things out. Even with this, there still is a slight variation.

I was told that getting adjustable suspension components on the front (coil-over setup) would resolve this. However, I was not interested in investing in that kind of change for what would be a relatively minor amount of difference.

I doubt ill go that far to fix a half inch variation. So today I tun my car on then I turn the AC on and the rpms start jumping around. Its done it before where it died but I had forgotten about it till now. Is this normal for the new edge Mustang to do that occasionally

After u lower it then we will know if it is from 10 years of use or if ur suspension is out of whack.

Hopefully its from being old. But since ill just be replacing springs it could still be tho tokico shocks right? Or because they are gas it would be very noticeable if one is shot?

You would notice if the shocks/struts were shot. Your car would bounce like an '89 caddy

Not quite an 89 caddy lol. More like a solid rear end motorcycle. Very hard and railroad tracks bruise my ****. That's why I'm planning on doing suspension work

OK I know it has been awhile but I'm finally decided to mod my bullitt. Picking up a set of Shorty headers this weekend. Bbk brand. I know longtubes are better but my wallet says no. Anyone have some insight on installation of these. I have access to a lift and all necessary tools. Will the motor have to be lifted on one side? Tips and tricks appreciated

Yes drop k member out. It is a little more work but believe me it will save your fingers and patience. I have shorty BBK with SLP high flow cats/x pipe and Loud mouth II's Love them. Good luck. Yes Motor does have to be lifted and then prop it up. I had my friend do them at his garage and heard about how it wasnt easy. instructions fromm BBK were good

Any one have opinions on the bullitts stock intake/throttle body. I contact remember off the top off my head what size. I believe 67mm. Twin barrel I guess you'd call it. 2 blades. Well anyway I am thinking about a procharger. Would my intake be able to flow enough air. I know its perfect size for n/a. Its not the same as a gt btw. Any opinions experience appreciated. One other thing. My chin spoiler is in the mail from AM. Mach style. Pictures of other sn95s with one installed would be nice
