Lowering car...ETs?
I have a 1999 cobra and it has basically stock suspension. If i lowered it with new shocks and Struts and springs would it improve my ETs. Ive heard both ways would like to hear what you guys think.

It depends on what you're looking to do. Lots of lowering kits have firm springs which are ideal for handling, but not so much drag racing. Stick with drag racing specific stuff and it will help you out.

Most lowing springs are stiffer to provide even loading for improved handling and will hurt weight transfer which is needed for a good launch.
