The whole thing is installed except for the rear sway bar (still have to buy two bolts). Wow!! What a difference this kit makes. Reduced body roll, GREATLY reduced nose dive under braking, and the car actually goes where it is supposed to when you turn the wheel. No more nose heavy push through the corners. It is easier to get the back end to swing out now, and I don't even have the rear swaybar on yet. Those looking for a dramatic drop should stay away from this kit, especially on a V6. I can tell the back is dropped but the front is hardly noticeable due to the fact that the kit is made for a nose heavy V8 car. But if you are looking for the best bang for the buck suspension kit, this kit is for you. The cheapest I found it was at www.speedconcepts.net for $389.99 + shipping.

The Bullitt's front sway bar is much bigger than the stock 6's and it still manages to be about 5-8 lbs (using my hand-o-meter) lighter. I can't wait to get the rear on. I'm hoping to start participating in some SCCA events around the area. I'm gonna need some kind of brake upgrade, though, because my stock brakes start fading bad after 2 or 3 hard stops in a row.

How much of a drop in the rear and front. Does it look all weird?

It's 3/4 all the way around on 99+ cars. Supposedly a little more on 94-98 cars. It actually looks pretty good. Now that the suspension has had a few days to settle, both the front and rear have dropped a little more and the drop is now a noticeable one. I think most people looking to drop the car for its looks more than for handling will find that there is still too much gap between the fenders and tires but I am more than satisfied with my purchase.

I'm not really going for the low rider look. I just was afraid of it looking weird. High front, low back. If the drop is even front and back, i'm fine with that.
