Sure thing man. Ill get on that soon as i get home and ill post what i got.
Yea i scrape on EVERYTHING as well. I cant stand it. I am thinking of just going with steeda springs and the jury is still out on what shocks and struts.
Who recommends a good shock and strut?

bilsteins are the best in my book, hands down. I had them on my 2003 white cobra, best ride, soft, but yet very firm once you push it. they last a lifetime too. Once I find out some ride hight measurments, I will be ordering the steeda sports. I hear they have the best ride for those of us that don't like 2" drops.

Travis i measured and I am at exactly 26 as well. Hope this helps. I am going to get some steeda springs also. On those shocks and struts, do they only make one kind for our cars or are there several? As in adjustable vs non adjustable etc..
Any particular ones you would recommend by part number?

If you are not going to be racing your car, and struts are easy to install with an impact wrench, you could easily get Monroe Sensa-Trac. They do provide a comfortable ride. I am going to get bilstein's as they have a lifetime warranty and don't degrade over time and are great for aggressive driving. Standard on 2003 cobras.

Thanks for the measurement. at 26", I drag way too much and will be getting steeda sport springs.

Anyone have any feedback on this kit?
Seems pretty reasonable and gets me where I need to be

Sorry it took so long, I never got a chance to go out and check until now. (car isn't in an easy spot to get to in the winter) Anyway, I measured and it sits just about 25 7/8". So we're calling it 26" all around. I'd say you have at least a 1 3/4" drop if not more.

Never heard of it. Stick with Eibach, H&R, and Steeda.
