Hey "The Flash", you got a pic. I always like to keep the ass end up a little more. I would sure like to see how your kit looks.

Yeah, what FKing1 said. Dont use a Torch to cut or heat your springs it may result in a bouncey ride when hitting even the slightest bumps.:coolman: Did it once on my 95 Cobra.

For people with lowered Cobra's......

How many inches is it from the bottom of your front bumper to the ground. I would like my car to be lowered, but I scrape sometimes as it is already.

Thanks.

Mine is about 5" from chin spoiler to ground with the H&R SS.

Thanks.

My front is lowered 1" with Steeda Sports and is a bit more than 5-1/2 from the chin spoiler center to ground. Has never scraped yet. To remove rear springs, do a search. There have been several good threads on how to do this.

I went with steeda springs. Front is perfect, good clearance, no rubbing, nice and low still. The rear I was less happy with and I am going to try H&R rears to get the back end down more. (steedas rear cobra springs improved handling but didnt lower the car)

i beg to differ. cobras were produced in larger #s than a GN and the supra is a discontinued car in the US. cobras will be around for as long as there is a mustang and im sure the future cobras will be more powerful and an all around better car making previous cobras to be desired less.

They produced over 20,000 Grand Nationals in 1987, alone. Some of the most sought after Supras are the 93.5 hardtop cars, not the '98 models. It's all relative. The GNs and Supras haven't become cult classics because of their numbers... it's because of what they've done for the automotive hobby. I agree that the 03/04 Cobras are the new Grand National. This is the only car the I have owned that has been able to "replace" my 11sec GN.

And I love my H&R SS springs!!
