the 03 cobras in deep dish aren't really good looking IMO. Some wheels do it for me, some wheels don't.

example: bullits, fr500s, 10th anni 03 cobras look great.

03s not so much.

My Cobra has Chrome wheels...some I'll be getting that finish...and I also do not like the deep dish on the '03/04 Cobra wheels!

I'll post some pics once installed....

Ok got a question relating to this topic. I got the Eibach Sportline springs and I like the drop but it doesnt seem like they work well for a drag launch. They handle amazing on the street and corners btu for launching Im not a big fan. What spring will still give me a nice drop but help launch better?

I think your going to have to settle for one or the other...
Steeda sells drag springs, their like marshmellows in the back and pretty rigid in the front, thats the best way to hook up... but then those springs drive like $hit on the road. and the car sits stinkbug.

i'd suggest keeping the springs you already have, but maybe upgrading the shocks to something with a faster rebound to help absorb the chatter from the launch. that'll help keep the tire on the road.

It dropped my car about 2 inches. Yeah thats what I have heard that drag launch springs ride like doo doo. I have Tokico blue adjustable shocks and have thought about softening up the rear shocks and seeing if it helps. I love the ride height so I wanna keep that.
