Default dropping my 99

so im lowering my 99 cobra and looking at eibach for springs or h&r but what im conerned about really is what shock to get, Im looking at bilstein but there are so many different kinds im not sure which to go with. I need to get cast cambers but thats a different issue, any advice would be great. Thanks

from my experience, you shouldnt need shocks at all. Cambers arent even really necessary, but they're ok if you've got the money. Also check out saleen springs before eibachs, i have them on my car (1" 1/2) and they're pretty decent.

I lowered my 99 this last summer.. I went w/ Eibach springs and nothing else.. No shocks and not CC plates.. It looks great and handles fine.. Although, my races are dead straight and not around corners..

If your going to do it your self.............. I'll give you a heads up................... Front are easy............................. Rears were a MOTHER!
