As you said, they're expensive. Most folks don't want to spend that kind of money on a set of springs. Also, the dealer network for most brands of springs is a whole lot bigger than the number of vendors selling Kenny Brown Performance products.

To make matters worse, KBP was off the radar for a long time during the worst of Kenny's illness. A few of the products continued to be made by the original fabricators and were marketed by some expatriot KBP folks under the "Engineered Performance" label, but they were hard to find.

I'm running the Engineered Performance EP85245 springs, because that's what was available during the time I was looking for my last set of springs, but they're 100% Kenny Brown KBP85245 springs, right down to the box in which they were shipped.

Kenny Brown springs are different from most of the aftermarket springs for our cars in that they have lower rates in front than out back to reduce understeer.

That fact and their linear, rather than progressive, design were two important considerations for me. I've been running them for two years, now, and I LOVE them.

If you are into any real handling or open track racing get the steeda sport springs for the cobra. Everyone that I know that got the Eibachs took them off and changed. The steedas give a nice stance with a bit of lowering and make the car take the turns like the car is on rails. The steeda springs also make a big difference to wheel hop on the drag strip.

i've already looked into this. those springs are for the 1999-2001 cobra. they will fit your car, but the rear is slightly different, it will ride too high. i bought a set cheap. the fronts are slightly lower than stock. i'm going to cut a coil off to rear to match. if you can get them cheap then go for it.
