[SS killer]

where can i find adjustable rear shocks & front struts for a 01 cobra & how much $ do they run. any opinions on the best ones. also what kind of springs are people running with adjustables.

I'm going with HAL adjustables for the rear shocks. I'm getting the '03 Cobra coupe front struts (bilstien) because they are rated for the springs I'm getting. HAL has some adjsutables for the front also.

My mechanic highly recommended them, FWIW.

The best price I've found for the rears is $139 each. I don't know a price for the struts.

I'm going with Kenny Brown springs. They have sets made just for IRS mustangs, a different set for coupes & another for 'verts.

what is the spring rate of the kb? how low will they drop your car?how much do they run?

The spring rate for the 'vert springs is 650/800. I've heard they will drop it about 1-1/12 inches. List price for the springs is $349, but I looked around & am saving about $45. There are cheaper springs out there, but I liked the fact these are made just for 'verts with IRS, & I have a bunch of other KB stuff on (&going in) the car.

I got a lot of my info from a member here & on the corral & stangnet from a member named angus.

Here is a list of spring rates for comparison:
