As some of you know, I brought my Cobra to Bruce at FTBR for a complete overhaul on my IRS: bushing kit, bumpsteer, and new ford racing diff cover.

This past Friday, Bruce called me and I went and picked up the cobra. Bruce and I went for a test drive and all I can say is WOW!!!! Before the upgrades, my cobra had wheel hop and the rear end felt like it was all over the place. After the upgrades, the cobra is stable, predictable, and handles like it is on rails. There is ZERO wheel hop and no extra NVH at all as compared to the stock rubber bushings!
I took the cobra out Saturday for a spirited drive before i washed her and put the cover back on to wait for a nice rain to clear all the roads in Milwaukee....but I had the biggest smile on my face before, during and after the drive and still do today....for all of you that are wondering, Bruce's kit is the REAL DEAL! Definitely a upgrade worth the time and money.
I could not be happier with the kit, the service and the experience. Bruce also installed rear HR race springs and shocks while he was putting my IRS back together. During the install Bruce took pictures of the car and sent them to me to make sure I was ok with the drop of the car in the rear. Bruce also replaced my fuel filter installed the 13 inch rear brake upgrade hit and I have a Brembo 4 piston setup on order that Bruce is going to install.
I can't thank Bruce and his team over at FTBR enough! The quality of the parts, the way the parts perform combined with Bruce's customer service really puts FTBR above the competition IMHO.
Next week sometime I am going to take the cobra over to C&M performance and have Marv install the front springs and CC plates; hopefully the weather stays halfway decent in Milwaukee.
Thanks again to FTBR and Bruce!:rockon:
