Question lowering my cobra

I have a 1998 cobra i'd like to lower but I have 17X10.5 with 315 tires in the rear and I was wondering if it would clear without rubing?
Also would I just need springs or would I need struts to go along with the springs if I lowering it?

Not sure about the rubbing but with lowering you will need:

- Springs
- Caster/Camber Plates
- Alignment Done

I did NOT need these with the Eibach Pro Kit OR H&R Race Springs on both of my cars!

if they will fit i have a 03 cobra thats lowered and i want to get back to stock ride. id be willing to trade you straight over (your stock springs for my cut ones.) from what ive been told they were cut 1 coil and car sits really nicely but where i live the roads are HORRIBLE and is getting old having to dodge pot holes. the ride is really smooth for being cut springs, ive ridden in cars with high dollar Ebaich lowering springs and cant tell the difference. anyway let me know i dont get on these fourms very often so hit me up via Email Painbutt43@yahoo.com
