Default 96 Cobra Covertable - I need h



I have a 96 Cobra Convertable. I have done a few mods, but I would like some advise from others. Here is a list of what I have already done.</P>


Bassani hi flow x pipe</P>


Flowmaster 3 chamber mufflers</P>


4" Chrome tips</P>


Underdrive pulleys</P>


Cold Air Charger w/ K&amp;N Filter</P>


3.73 gear</P>


New Coil Pack, New Plug Wires, New Plugs, Rebuildt Trans, and Alpine CD Player.</P>


</P>


I am interested in adding power, but my wheels are already breaking from the payment on a hard jump off of the line. Please advice with any advise that you may have on induction or suspension.</P>


</P>


Thank you,</P>

You need a set of drag radials. Sub frame connectors, control arms. And a locker rear if you got the extra money.

I have heard good things about increasing the Throttle body size and Mass Air Meter since the 4.6 4V really like to breath.</P>


I have already been looking at some 17 X 10.5" rears for summer driving, but I have been a little lost on what type of suspension work with tighten my bite on the pavement.</P>


Do you think that the upper and lower control arms will be more important than changing the springs and shocks?</P>


Thanks again evryone.</P>

You might wanna think about doing the springs and the control arms together. The shocks can wait.

How difficult is it to install the springs and control arms? Is this something that can be done at a personal garage, or does it have to be done on a lift.
