my buddy has one on his 03 Cobra. i had an 03 Cobra IRS on the V6. totally different. it damn near lifts the car under full throttle. our power was also similar when the V6 was running 14 PSI. he had 460 and i had 475.

Maximum Motorsports. it allows for better weight transfer and it removes the UCAs.you do need a panhard bar to use it. also, try breaking the heavy duty one. i haven't seen one break yet. even when my buddy wrecked the Cobra it was still in one piece.

All I know is I know over 20 people personally using UPR prodcuts and I've never seen a "failed" part in person, just hear regurgitated internet rumors. On3 I've seen failed peices in person not just internet jargon.

I'm definitely more interested in that. Unfortunately that set up costs a lot more than what I can afford for now. I may just wait.

Turbo, could you tell me how much stiffer it is? I mean I like upgrades and stiff suspension, but I'm worried about the stress that a torque arm and panhard bar would put on the car. It's the stress from hitting pot holes for me, not ground clearance.

his car felt pretty solid even for a vert. definately stiffer than my V6 Coupe.
