Default Improving ride quality on a 03 Cobra

I have done a search and I am leaning to H&R sport springs. Anybody out there running these springs and how is the ride compared to stock? My ride is pretty harsh right now and the streets are pretty screwed up because the county is not repairing them. The harsh ride is beating my baby to death and shes startin to get squeeks and rattles.

if anything the h&r sport springs will make the ride worse. i really don't think you can get much better than stock. you can't expect a mustang to be smooth.

my cobra has a way better ride than my brothers rsx-s.

I'm running the H&R Sport Springs with stock ISO, I love it. I think that the ride quality has stayed the same. I can post up a pic if you want. We also do have some pretty bad streets by me, but I am yet to bottom out and I'm running longtubes.

I have the H&R Race springs in the '04 TR RagTop & Eibach Pro's on the '03 DSG ....both ride nice, but I truly like the Eibach's better as far a ride quality!

You can always just cut your stock springs.

I'm riding on stockers with 3/4 of a coil cut and have zero complaints. Ride quality is nearly identical, but obviously scraping becomes an issue on speedbumps.
