Default suspension question

Is a 1.5 inch drop on a 01 Cobra to low, should i go with that or 1 inch instead. I just dont want it to be a low rider and bottom out on every speed bump...Stock for stock is a 01 cobra the same ride height as an 03 cobra?

1.5 inch isn't too bad. The Eibach Pro kit does that. I had the Eibach sport line kit and it was too low. I switched to the pro kit and it was just right. Now I run a coil over set up. I think 1.5" looks nice, you will rub on some speed bumps but IMO its worth it for the look.

Mine is a 98, but I went with Ford Racing B springs with poly isolators and tokico blue shocks and struts. It gave me a little more than 1" drop and rides great. Mine is a daily driver so I didn't want to drag bottom all the time either. My setup is great for a DD and it's cheap. It was around $515 shipped. ( www.stangsupsension.com )

I need some help. I have an 03' vert. Every time I hit a bump the car shakes very baddly.My buddies say that my shocks are shot.I want to lower the car and replace the shocks in the back.I heard great things from eibach. What kinda shocks should I get. HBH recommends Strange , but I ordered the catalog and they don't make IRS shocks. Sould I got with the Koni yellow, It's a daily driver. Thanks for any help..
