I have a set of H&R race springs I'd like to install. What do you recommend I install along with the springs? I want to make sure that I don't leave out any of the mandatory supporting mods.
Thanks!
Thanks!
H&R Race spring supporting mods
- Thread starter M2k3Cobra
- Start date
Struts, MM camber plates, and low-profile IRS bolts.

if your vert still has the factory bilstein struts/shocks, this is the time to upgrade to bilstein hd's or other appropriate rate shocks/struts to match the firmer h&r race spring. the verts do not come from the factory with as aggressive dampening bilsteins as the coupe do.....nor did they come from the factory with as aggressive a factory spring rate. optimum setup would be to upgrade those weak sauce valved factory vert bilsteins while you have it apart IMO.

Im thinking:
MM 1999-2004 MM Sport series Damper Package, IRS Mustang
MM Mustang Caster Camber Plates, 2003-04 Cobra, chrome
MM Bumpsteer kit, 1994-04 Mustang, tapered-stud style
MM Full Length Subframe Connectors, 1979-04, powdercoated
MM 1999-2004 MM Sport series Damper Package, IRS Mustang
MM Mustang Caster Camber Plates, 2003-04 Cobra, chrome
MM Bumpsteer kit, 1994-04 Mustang, tapered-stud style
MM Full Length Subframe Connectors, 1979-04, powdercoated
those are intended for coil over setup - fyi
if you don't go coil over, just go with these:
1999-04 Bilstein HD series Damper Package, IRS Cobra Mustang [BIL-9] : Maximum Motorsports, the Latemodel Mustang Performance Suspension Leader!
Do you plan on using iso's with those springs? It would be a good time to buy new ones if you are keeping them. I installed my springs without them.
Good research. Everything except the bumpsteer. You won't be lowered that much to need it.

Leaving the iso's out can lower your car an additional half inch or so. I did it to lower the car further. Have not noticed any changes in NVH without them.
Just spoke to H&R and they do not recommend the race spring in the convertible (due to weight). They suggested the sport springs. I may be selling these...not too happy about staring at the box and not being able to use them.

Thought there are a lot of cobra verts rolling around on h&r race springs. I think it should be fine if i'm not mistaken. The sport springs are too soft IMO.
The sport springs IMHO, SUCK and should only be used on V6 cars with a very light weight engine.
They will be WAY too low, in any Terminator.
I advise against this.:nonono:
There are tons of verts running the H&R race springs, if he was not also doing the other mods his stock struts and shock would have been valved closer to the sports.
I believe that is the reason for the advice H&R gave.

I have the H&R race spring in my vert did the install myself last Oct . I did reuse the factory iso. Was hoping for the 1.5 inch drop but only got 1.2 in the back and .900 in the front. Over the winter they have come down some . Very happy with the ride.
Im sticking with the race springs. I spoke to the guys over at Maximum Motorsports and they were able to clarify things.
That's great to hear man. Hope all goes well and post up pics when all is said and done.
