Cool BULLITT Ride Heights

To me, the Shelby GT's ride is firm but not harsh. Just right. I don't think they will lower it much. The California Special bumper is about 1 1/2 lower as it is. When you add in the 1 1/2 drop from Shelby, you really can't clear most parking curbs. (at least it is so close you don't want to try.) My bumper measure about 5 1/2 inches from the ground.
For whatever it's worth, I personally think the 2001 ride height is a little too low. I think the 2003-2004 Mach I is a bit higher and although some folks might argue it's not enough to matter I think it would matter if that meant the difference between a hole in your oil pan or not when running over whatever died the night before or was dropped from a tool truck, etc.,

1.5" lower ... hhmmmmm ... kind of a drastic drop from a factory ride height in my opinion but then again we won't know until it comes out. Kinda makes Ya wonder if the base standard GT ride height is a little too high ... (???)

I'll say this; if the factory handling mods on the 2008 make the same difference as they did on the 2001 then the new 2008 owners are gonna love it for sure ... I LOVE the way my 2001 BULLITT handles ... I just wince sometimes when I drive along over something (ANYTHING I drive over) because I couldn't change lanes to avoid it.

I drove my friends 2001 Bullitt, it is a great car. IMO it was a better all round car than the regular GT.

My brother has a Vortec blown 01 Bullitt

I think Mach and Bullitt used the exact same springs and tokiko shocks.

I'm going to order two Bullitts tomorrow, one with nav and hids, one with just hids(which I may buy). Both DHG of course, pass on ordering any black ones.

Well the brace can just come out. Bullitts also have a 'hidden' duplicate tag under the rear seat base stuck to the unibody.

Hey Kev, I'm ordering the one here with all opitions sans Nav and Shaker 1000. If your ordering one with only HID's, I would also add the AAT as well.
