Need some springs

JROC · **Need some springs**

My car needs a drop. One thing 03/04 Cobra's don't have on Roush Mustangs is looks as their fron't bumpers don't really match the New Edge look IMO. But I think they look really nice with a good drop and some 18's.

I want H&R Race Springs because I think they are the best springs for a Terminator, but they don't really drop it that much unless you remove the insulators which I would rather not do, H&R Sport, and Super Sport Springs give it a very nice stance but from what I've read they are to softly sprung for a 03 Cobra. Eibach Pro Kit gives them probably my favorite stance but I have read bad thinks about them too. I also like the drop on the Steeda springs but Steeda isn't really my brand,(even though my car has a Steeda shifter that works great) Last but not least I like the KB springs but can you even buy them anymore. I will probably end up going with the H&R Race Springs because they will actually improve on the handling of the car but I wish they would drop it just a little more. What do you guys think.

Also I need some new wheels. I feel like Cane on Menace II Society when he got his Fox and said "I had the dope ride but I was sittin on bull shit." I need some new wheels and I already know what wheels I'm getting but I can't deside on the finish. I'm going to get some 18" AFS replica 03 Cobra wheels but can't deside on which finish would look the best - Natural, Polished or Chrome. Please give me your opinions on what finish you think would look best. And no I don't want black ones or Bullits, or FR500's.

I will probably put some 3/8 spacers on the rear when I do this.

Forget the H&R, yadda yadda...just go coil over all the way around. It will be a customizable drop, and it will get rid of a ton of the rear wheel hop.

If you have to just do springs, do the H&R Sports. They give the 1"-1.5" drop all around...the super sports go too far. They are not that cushy...the H&R's are basically the standard for those that don't go coil over.

If you want to save money...just start cutting your springs until you get the drop you want. Works fine. Maintains the current ride quality. Saves money. And ignore those that may come in and say this or that about it...it works fine, has been proved, and the bitchers have been put in their place many times on other sites.

Thanks, who makes good coilovers, and how much are they.

You can buy a MM - Road and Track Box for a 03 Cobra for almost as much as their Coilover kit.

**PureVenom** · **Re: Need some springs**

MM as you already noticed, QA1, and another I can't think of right now.

I have BBk on my car. ITs 1.5" I kinda wish I put a 2" drop on it so it would be more noticable but then again I kinda like having a front bumper haha

JROC · **Re: Need some springs**

I like this guys car, it has the stance I want. He has MM coilovers and the same wheels that I want, and I feel you about the front bumper thing Riden.

I found this on SVTPerformance.
Motortopia: Cars > Cobra > Album: Back Ally

Right now I'm leaning towards saving up some money and buy some MM coilovers, and full length subframe connectors.
StangSuspension.com - mm coil-over complete package - for 99-04 cobra with irs ...

Than for the suggestions ya'll.

This is your best bet, do it right the first time...plus, with the coil overs, you can adjust the height and dial it in to where you want it. That is what I am doing as well...once I get all the go fast stuff done next month.

coil overs or H&Rs.. I want to do coil overs just not sure I would put them to good enough use.
