Hey-I have a '98 Cobra 'vert also...I went with the Eibachs..like a 1.5" drop, I believe. As far as pods go, I had to install my Monster Tach on the far left of the dash due to the fact that Motorsport Dynamics here in Sacramento told me that they couldn't mount anything on the pillar because it wouldn't be stable enough.I have no idea about the gears...I need to start looking into that myself.

If you drive your car every day (freeway) iwouldn't go with 410's 410's are good gears if you are n/a 373 are practical for daily driving

I know that Jegs have full pillar pods for 3 gagues, also ummm... forgot but take a look the MM&FF, too much good stuff in there!...as for the 4.11s i think you'd be in the 3000-3500 range, just an educated guess tho, my friend has 4.10's an hes gonna get rida'em...73's da way to go...

Why are you looking at just saleen and eibach. There are so many good springs out there. I have steeda's and love them but if I did it again I would go with H&R 2 inch drop and griggs caster camber plates. Just my .02

whew, I remember back in the day when I feared the gear... then Mike (BLUE98SVT) told me a story.. driving from Sac to So. Cal on a tank and a half of gas... hmm... that was better mileage than I was getting previously.. And he was running a 4.30 ass end gear... welp.. I proceeded to buy 3.73's.. .and stare at them for awhile.. and then.. I decided.. Forget these little 3.73's! 4.30's here I come!.. Don't fear the gear...
I drive 35 miles to work and back every day... and the cobra gets killer gas mileage.. (nothing compared to the 95 EX though)...
my friend just put 4.10's in his 95 AODE GT... and that thing rips!
just my $.02....
