Default I have a couple weird questions...

There is a guy on my local CL that is selling his 94 Cobra. Here is a link to it. http://portland.craigslist.org/wsc/cto/1535730921.html

I basically called to see if he was interested in selling the wheels, but hes really now. He selling it to get a newer Cobra. He then tells me that he as a set of Eibach Pro Kit springs sitting in his garage that he would sell me. They came off of his car so will they fit my car? He said he thought they would fit a 79-04 Mustang. He says his car has about 180k on it so I am guessing the springs have around 160k on them. Wouldnt they be saggy and ride rough?

He also has a set of 13" calipers and dual-piston calipers in a box as well. He says when he bought the car 5 years ago that the guy changed the stock Cobra calipers out for these blank ones. However he does say that they have the same part number and everything as the originals, just no name style. He says they are made in Australia or something.

Anything helps. Thanks.

The springs will fit your car, idk about how rough they will ride...but they sure will be settled in lol, but i'd never put those springs on a car by choice, EVER!!! I prefer H&R springs because the rear end never sags and they make an awesome stance. But if you can get them for like next to nothing, its probably better than stock. And i doubt that they have that many miles on them.

So what is the actual question about the brakes...dont see one in there. I bought a set of those tonight while i was tearing apart my caster camber plates. One was a replacement caliper and one has cobra on it. So grinding cobra off and having them both powder coated DSG. I'd say buy them if you can get them cheap. They will work just the same as the ones that say cobra on them...they just wont say cobra on them. lol

About the springs: If they have around 70k on them, I will get them. But I am almost sure they have like 150k lol.

The brakes: What about the rotors though? I think the brake setup has pretty low mileage because he bought the car 5 years ago and he said the guy just gave them to him in a box because he was running the original Cobra ones. I am very confused about this whole ordeal but I will find more about it. What should I look for as far as the brakes go?
