Thats a BADASS cobra right there! [worship]

Looks like the same stance my 93 cobra has. [Big Grin]

imo, here are you options:

- coilovers all around
- front coilovers, rear lowering springs plus adj. lca
- eibach sportline springs w/o iso and adj. lca

i have setup number 3. get quality struts/shocks, don't cheap out on this.

Eibachs are garbage. Do it right the first time. Maximum motorsports coilovers and bilstein HD shocks. Only way to go in my opinion.

Thanks for the replies guys

I'm plain to buy steeda sport spring or H&R spring. What you think everyone? I like steeda for me. IMO

Posted by Luke87GT (Member # 21) on :

If you are particular about ride height, it's gotta be adjustable at all 4 corners.

another +1 for coilovers for at least the front, i have MM coilovers front and adj. LCA in rear

car looks sick bro i actually talked to a guy at mm yesturday and he said your set up is the way to go for street and track so im going to order the front then wait to order the rear set up to slap everything on

^^^^ before you order hit up mike over at maier racing in hayword. He definetly gave me some good advice. Jason over at mm told me to stay away from my current set up. I have mm's sport valved shocks/struts and coil overs on all four corners. The ride is decent and it handles.......

Thats who i talkex to jason

Posted by SantaClara_Lx (Member # 9488) on :

So i talked to mike and he pretty much told me that if im not paying gim to install it then to just go direct through mm. Even after knowing that i wasnt going to buy from him he still spent about 10 mins educating me on suspension.... Not too many people will do that . So after getting off the phone with mike i called jason at mm and got off to a good start ...bilstein shocks and struts front mm coil overs and caster plates, rear mm springs and isos thanks for all the help guys [patriot]
