93 cobra stance and wheelgap

[Brent S]

I'm looking at low-mileage (<10k) 93 cobras, and I noticed that a few of these 100% bone-stock cobras seem to have a larger wheel-gap in the rear than in the front. Is this typical? Like this:

Can't say I've ever seen one like that unless it was braking.......lol! Something seems a bit off to me.

FYI, I know it's hard to see in my Avatar, but my car rides on stock springs and isn't raked like the car pic you posted.

The one in the picture looks as if it was stored on jack stands with them under the frame rails allowing the suspension to droop. If thats the case the car will sit higher until the springs settle back down with the vehicle weight on them.

Good point Daryl.

Though I wonder, do you think the shocks would be more inclined to do that rather than the springs? Just my 2 cents.

I have had shocks(rarely) and struts forsure freeze up before. Effected stance some and the ride was horriable. Its amazing with new shocks/struts and put a few miles on it will do.

Most cobras have that "rake" to them. Mine did. Put lowering springs on it, and it wont matter. =)

My car sat butt high like that. I put the rear springs from a FMS B-spring kit on it and now it sits level.
