Hey all, new here.

I traded my 2008 bullitt for a performance pack in May, and have a few questions.

My 08 Bullitt had a full BMR suspension. I'm more up on the S197 chassis so this is all new to me.

I'd like to upgrade my S550s stance
With the performance pack suspension, what all would be needed to drop the car and achieve a factory alignment?

Lets say a general progressive 1" drop spring, should I put new ford performance strut mounts up front like I did with the S197? Are they still one time use?

I've read on here a lot of folks keep the PP shocks and struts and have had good results, and for now That's basically what I would like to do. My 08 had koni yellows and I loved them, but for now I'm okay with what the car has.

Anyways, thanks all.

BMR SP080s and enjoy with the PP dampers.

Another good choice would be the Steeda Progressive Springs with a one inch drop. Plus, it has exceptional ride quality with the P/P dampers.

I've got the sp089's on the front on mine, stock PP stuff in the rear. Ride is great, just about 3/4 inch drop in the front.

For the progressives & the Pro Actions ... we are currently having a Labor Day Sale with savings of up to 25% off.

As Steeda Tech mentioned, great success on & off the track with the progressives.
