1993.5 Cobra Sitting Low Driver Rear
The Cobra,
is sitting low driver side rear, you can stick two of your fingers in the driver rear top of tire to quarter
the rest, dam near your whole hand. The driver side front appears low somewhat as well.
Anyhow, replaced all Springs Front and rear OEM, and isolators.Replaced all shocks front and rear and bushings.
Replaced Sway Bar Bushings as well.
Car still sits, the same as never before. Checked and didnt find any welds broken, any ideas of what causes this, old man getin pissed;.[:'(]

Ahh yes, the good ol' fox body lean. People to this day think I am crazy when I told them that my car had a gangster lean like you speak of, a bad one at that. I thoughtI had sagging springs, so I swapped springs and shocks and it still was about 2" lower on the driver rear than the passenger side. I have read on corral where people were buying adjustable control arms and coilovers set at different settings just to get the car level, but there is an ever cheaper fix. Global West Suspension makes a billet perch spacer designed specifically for this issue and sits on the driver side lower control arm between the spring and arm. They make it in 3 different sizes depending on the amount of lean you have, I think I used the 7/8" one and my car is even within a 1/4" now...much better than a 2" sag that is extremely noticable. I have had the piece for at least 4 years and asthetically it was the best and cheapest mod I have ever made to the car.
Sometimes I think I am the only person who knows about this piece since no one ever seems to mention it . You should definitely pick this up...you wont be disappointed!

I would most likely choose the middle one. When you get some spare time, take a yard stick and measure from the ground to the top of the wheelwell on both sides....when you call to order the piece tell them your measurements and ask them which one they recommend.
Dude with the vert, you should definitely get this....verts have some of the worst leans I have seen.. One guy around town here has a car that leans a good 3"...granted he weighs 300lbs but the car still shouldnt lean like that
