Default Lowered Cobra

Picked up my baby after the springs were installed. Was going to wait to take pics after the springs settled but thought I d throw up some pics in the hopes that others will get a set of fr500 wheels cause there the best wheels!!!! esp. the black chrome ones. Let me knwo what you guys think. Also the car seems to sit lower now after driving it all overthe place!

Great looking car. The lowering has really helped it. How much was it all together and what springs did you use?

sorry to break it to you but springs don't settle.

It looks great ATFpat.

Black FTMFW. It looks like you went with either H&R super sports or sport springs.


Edited for pics:

Not that I want to get too far off the topic, but I'm considering these springs for my Cobra http://www.americanmuscle.com/eibach...-04-cobra.html

I really don't want to drop more then an 1" up front ...anyone running them?

Those are some nice wheels. Car looks really good with them. Being black chrome I'll bet those cost some $$$.

Tim, A member on here and on a local forum did research on spring rates. The stock springs are stiffer than eibachs.

I would recommend you go with H&R Race springs. They give you around the same drop as the prokits if you reuse the isolators.

+1. Get the H&R Race. I didn't install mine yet. I was going to go with the SS but it will be to low for when I do my longtubes.
