I've ridden in one that has the Ford racing coils, lowering about 1/2"...looks great, doesn't aid handling that much while yielding a rough...very rough ride. Part of the looks lies in the fender design, I think. Ford design should have dropped the fender openings a bit, perhaps.

Bilstein also makes a coils/shocks package for the car...but I dunno, as is, the car drives out very nice, despite the high looking stance. Actual measuring under the car reveals it's pretty low already. Guys on Mustang boards who have done the lowering are complaining about not clearing speed bumps, sloped driveways, etc.

But so far, haven't enough info on coil rates, shocks valving, bar sizes, ect. to form a baseline. So, just waiting and watching.

Steve? Many of the goodies on the '10 GT's are on the '09 Bullitt...the Bullitt was kind of a test mule. Purely a taste thing, but I liked the '09 lines better than the
'10 models with their camaro like hood and overly rounded rear fenders. Thus, asking the local dealer to chase down an '09 Bullitt for me as the '10 models were coming out. No Bullitts in '10 either...and GT's have the stripes & spoilers...I didn't want those. Again, just a taste thing.
