I let my Bullitt go and picked up a real clean '96 Cobra, I want to start getting it ready to split street/track.
I'm not looking to go American Iron racing but want it to be safe and fun.
I could use some guidance before I start ordering parts.
The car has 03/04 Mach 1 Tokico struts and shocks, FRPP "B" springs and a 4.10 in it (all of which are almost new) and a leaking pinion seal. I am planning on a complete rear rebuild along with 3.55 or 3.73's.
1st question; What do you guys think about the strut, shock and spring set up with the stock sway bars? I don't want to replace the struts and shocks but would do springs and bars that would work with them or just the bars.
2nd question; Will a complete 03/04 Mach 1 rear fit in the 96?
3rd question; While the rear is out I thought about replacing the upper and lower control arms, any advice on a good package? I was thinking MM,BBK or Hotchkis.
I also want to do a clutch, driveshaft, a decent set of seats, harness bar, harnesses, front CA's, CC plates, wheels and tires. So that doesn't leave much left in the suspension budget.
Any Advice would be greatly appreciated.
I guess I could have split this up into a couple different threads.
