The bullet kit is pretty BS IMO.... you can piece together a better kit for less money.

you could get some tokico Blues and an Eibach Pro Kit and some Eibach Sway bars and have a much better set up :boink:

So, you'd rather lower the car more, so the geometry is screwed up, run less spring rate, so it does not handle any better, and a shock with poor valving?

i believe the Valving on the Blues is the same if not better than the Bullet Package. The bullet package shocks are was come stock on bullets and Machs 1s..... Plus the sway bars in the Bullet Kit arnt that big of an improvement

Tokico HP series is nothing to write home about. I'd rather go with stiffer springs and shocks that were valved for them, than a simple drop spring and ok at best shock.

yeah, if it were me doing it would spend some more money on different springs and some 5ways or Bilstiens.

but i think he is going for a little low, little better handling street set up

tge MM starter box has everything you need.... i mean EVERYTHING for exactly what you want. Whats making the price of the Starter Box so High is the Bilstiens.... they are a little more pricey.

Here is what i would do.....

Tokico Blues or 5 Way sport Shock
Eibach Pro Kit
MM C/C Plates
Eibach Sway Bar Kit
UPR or Steeda BumpSteer Kit (They are Both The Same)

That all should be agreat set up for a street car Daily Driver.

I think i know what your looking for..... A nice handling street set up thats a little lower but not dragging and handles alot better than stock....am I right? :dunno:

u need to look again. the springs are 229, shocks struts are 528 and then everything else it comes out the same basically

i was about to get the bullitt kit but ended up getting tokico blues and frpp c springs. just waiting for the springs to show up and ill get them put on asap

the frpp b or c springs would be good for what you want. you want lowered but not slammed so you scrap on everything

Nothing wrong with the Bullit kit as long as you can find it for a decent price. I remember when it was like $350. If you are worried about being too low then that is the right kit for you...being from NJ i can relate to what you are concerned about.

thanks guys. u all seem to to know what u are talking about. i'm pretty sure that i'm not going to be some super drag car, no matter what. i want something fun to run with on the street, and if i ever decide to start doing road courses or something, i'll have a good base.

I wanted the Bullit kit for the exact same reason as you but it was on backorder for like 6 months so i went with Steeda springs and Tokico blues and my ride is awesome but it does sit about an inch to low. I still might swap out my springs for some FRPP C springs in the future.

you car does not sit too low.... it sits perfect like OEM.... it should have come from the factory about your height IMO....Mine is WAY too low :rollinglaugh:
