Default '99 Cobra Susp. & brake overhaul

Just like to thank you all for all the posts. I've just been a lurker on this site for quite some time & this is my first post.

Now to the important stuff. It's time for a complete suspension & brake overhaul, and I was looking to get some suggestions from the all-knowing members of the board. Just looking for a good everyday driving setup.

try a eibach pro kit it comes with springs, struts and shock.It will make the car handle way better. If you have more money then get a set of MM lower rear control arms. This will make the car hook up. There is a up dated ford stamped front control arm that will give you room for bigger tires and has new bushings. This is what I have done to my 98.
As far as brakes turn you rotors and buy some hawk brake pads. You could get steel lines for the front as well. If you have more money slotted rotors, an air duct cool kit for the front brakes or better yet and big brake kit

You can't put those type of Rear Control arms on a 99 Cobra. He has an IRS.
But you can got to Maximum for there IRS bushing upgrade. Or there is a Guy on SVTPerformance that has a Derlin Bushing kit. If you have an account on SVTPerformance forums let me know and I will send you the link.

That's what I was wondering. What I've found in doing much research is that it seems many options are unavailable due to IRS. On that site I noted the MM starter suspension packages & the road & track suspension packages with the Bilstein struts & shocks.
