As far as getting the the car to come down more, like some of the other guys said. Give it a little time to settle. Someone told me that the X2 ball joints from Steeda would help approx 1/2". I have no idea if this is true. Maybe one of the suspension gurus on here can tell you for sure. The car looks great and it always helps when the rest of the family takes intrest in your hobby.

Thanks man! I'll look into painting the radiator support flat black...it might clean up the look of the grill As for the springs, yes, I should wait until they settle. Theyve only been in the car for a little over a week so hopefully by next week or so they'll be settled and my drop will look a bit more aggressive

eh, i'll try to keep this short. I've never been a fan of the fake Saleen's. But when they're done right, they're not bad. As long as the owners never try to pass them off as the real thing.

That being said, I really like your car. Especially now with the updated appearance... it looks sick! i agree that: 1. NO Cobra bumper is better, stick with all Saleen. 2. i think the pony in the front grill looks better than the snake. 3. Bigger exhaust tips would look okay, but not better than what you have now. The Borla intercooled tips are perfect for that car.

If i had to pick something to do, all i'd add are some of these headlights with an HID kit...



enjoy the car, and if you decide to sell, I always have cash-in-hand! I wanted the yellow 95 GTS dammit!

I agree with you 100%! I'd never tell anyone that my car is a production Saleen-Cobra, but it's fun to hear people say it really looks like one. I honestly think the quality put into this car is actually better than that of my old 96 Saleen, and it was real! The body kit on my FALEEN was actually installed way cleaner and aligns much better then the kit on my real Saleen. As for the headlights, I actually have a set of smoked ones sitting in my trunk that I was going to install but I got dicked on a trade and have to give them back...it's a long story so I'm not even going to get into it

As for the running pony and the exhaust tips, both are not going to change. The pony will stay to give the front end the "real" Saleen effect and the tips are definitely not going to get swapped out for for some cheesy 3" chrome tips. It'll take away from the "clone" since these are the actual tips that came on sn95 Saleens. I'll save the chrome tips for the guys with your everyday 40 series flowmasters

And swapping the bumper to a cobra bumper is unheard of! Now why would I do such a thing on this car hahahhahaha?!?!

04s281...I used to always say that everything is for sale for the right price, but I don't think that comment applies for this car. Trust me, I've been offered buku bucks for my seats, but even with that, I don't think I'd sell them unless I have something equivalently rare and clean to replace them with. The car itself, it's staying here

Ride was just fine since I was using Konis, and since the springs are stiff as F, I was not concerned about bottoming out (those springs have some serious rate).

I always cut springs with a cut off wheel on a 4.5" grinder. It limits the heats and has the coil cut in seconds.

I also don't recommend using 94-04 struts if you plan to go really low. Fox struts are shorter and therefore offer increased bump travel. You don't want to be riding on your bump stops.

If I were you, I'd start off with 3/8" coil and see what you think.
