Default Which lowering springs???

I am going to buy some lowering springs soon and just wanted some opinions on ride quality. I've had Eibach before, but I hear H&R make some great ones too for the cobra. Also, when I put them on, will I see better 0-60FT times or will they offer too stiff of a spring to do a good launch? Thanks guys.

I had Vogtland springs on my 04 gt and they were great. 1.25 inch drop all around and good ride quality.

Most people go with H&R. Sport or race springs. They are good stuff

If I put the H & R sports on my 03 cobra, would I have to have it realligned? Would it mess up the allignment of the IRS?

You'll need a realignment to correct the caster/camber settings. If you drop her alot, you should get some CC plates. I'm not sure if it'll change anything in the IRS. ??? I think I'll go with the H&R or Steedas.

Everything else will be good. A buddy of mine got the H&R Sport springs and maxim motorsports caster camber plates. they work well with the stock shocks and struts. Caster camber plates are a must for lowered cars. Otherwise your tires will wear faster.

94black, do you have the part # by any chance for the sportlines? I found the Pro Kit's, but I want more of a drop, exactly like yours, but I cant seem to find sportlines for 03-04 cobras.
