Default lowered the cobra

decided i was sick of the rear 4x4 look and had a few spare hours today so pulled my springs out and cut them, since they're all linear the ride did not change one bit, just looks better. cut 1/2 coil up front and left iso's out, then 3/4 out of the rear also no iso's. took 2" off the back and about an inch off the front. imo the front could be a tad lower, but i'm happy with it, dont feel like doing anything else in this 90* heat haha. here's before and after pics:

before:




after:

ported blower is already on and it's got a mail order for it already. only problem is my fuel pumps are at 98% lol. I ordered a bap off of kerns on here so hopefully he ships that out asap. I just got my ported throttle body yesterday but am not putting that on until the bap gets here.

Purp the only other visual mods i'm gonna do is the same wheels only chrome, and a light tint on the tail lights. nothing crazy just enough tint to match the 3rd brake light. then it's done..... visually. lol.

Man that car is nice!!!! I agree with you, the front could come down a hair. I also agree with keeping it clean. You've got one of the best looking cars here.

forgot to mention, i'm gonna put the rear iso's back in to try and level it more, i'm not gonna lower the front any because it's too low, exhaust was hitting on everythinggggg. i'm also going to try tucking the exhaust up some but not sure what i'll gain there. i didn't expect 3/4 coil off the rear would lower it that much.
