Thanx for remembering me. 1 coil cut with no iso's

 

[Stevenbekah]

One coil cut front and rear.
ISO's still in place.

To answer your question, you cut from the top.

I'm not 100% sure on the GT springs as to whether or not they are linear or progressive...I know the 03/04 Cobra springs are linear which means their preload and rebound is the same all the way through the spring. Which in other words means if you cut one coil, all it changes is the ride height. Double check on your GT springs. It's actually a pretty simple install since you have a solid axle rear. You're going to need caster/camber plates in the front though (get the Maximum Motorsports set up...can't go wrong with them). After you pull your springs, cut them and put the C/C plates back on, you'll want to get a 4 wheel alignment done.

Hope this helps ya', good luck!

my stock springs cut 3/4 of a coil would have cut a full but didnt want to get CCs.

my best friends cobra we cut his 1 full in front and rear

Did everyone have to use caster camber plates to align once you cut them?

 

[rcn4god]

you can cut up to Two coils without losing ride...according to the WyoTech workbook

if i remember correctly GTs are progressive.

Does anyone have any problems with the crossmember bottoming out over speed bumps or large pot holes?

Reason I ask is that I have ford racing c springs and i cut a full coil and it scrapes over everything. Thanks guys!

 

[cobrajma]

if i remember correctly GTs are progressive.

nope, not progressive. just plain regular linear rate springs. have cut tons of them.:beer:

 

[cobrajma]

03 cobra springs cut 1 coil
Rides better then my eibach pro springs. :xpl:

03 springs on your 99, right?

 

[Hmbre97]

Coilovers up front. Rear is stock 03 Cobra coupe springs, 1 coil cut with stock ISO's.

 

[BLUEPSTU]

No. I actually had problems getting the stock aligned. When cut the springs and took it back to get realigned the business doing the aligning was able to get a better alignment.

Here are pics of mine. I cut 9/16th's of a coile in the front and 10/16th's in the back. It lowered it about one inch. The pics were right after it was done. It has settled a little lower since. I can't go lower or I won't be able to get in my driveway. Can't tell much difference in the ride except maybe a little stiffer.

 

[COBRA2NV]

Cut about 7/8 off mine all the way around.

 

[OrangeMach23]

Here are a few of mine with the cut factory springs.

Love your Mach, Herb. :beer:

..and yours looks badass without the wing! :rockon:




Here's mine. '04 Cobra springs. One coil removed at all 4 corners. ( i think the iso's are in...can't remember)

 

[Smacked_in_ATL]

3/4 coil cut all around.

 

[mustanginky]

here's my ride w/ 1 and 1/4 coils cut. she's pretty low and the k member likes to hit things like when going into a gravel driveway...

 

[bzubke1]

can this be done on an sn95 too? From the sounds of it the ride is still decent and all these cars look awesome.

 

[Graves]

You can cut springs on any car. Mine rides like stock, but it just sits lower. Still comfy.

 

[portcity_gt]

back when my car was stock other than exhaust, it had cut stockers. and it rode better then than the coil overs do now...i dont think i have any pix, but here is a video...
