Should I lower the Cobra?

[3Laser3]

I'd like to lower my car with some H & R Race Springs, but my concern is that I won't make it up my driveway without scraping. I have about 2-2.5 inches between the driveway and the car. What do you guys think? Will I be ok? I currently have the stock 17" wheels, but I'm considering getting some 18" wheels. Will this make much of a difference? Thanks for the help.

I think the race springs only drop ours cars 1.5 inches, so you should be good.

Might be time to do a bit of concrete work on the driveway

+1 Drop it with some H&R Race or the Eibach Pro-kit springs!

I agree lower it, I'll be doing mine next spring. I really can't decide which spring to go with though. The shop that I go to says they've had great success with the eibach pro's.

In the same boat. Looking into cut coupe springs for my vert. If that doesn't work out it will be h&r race springs or steeda springs. The steeda don't drop the rear that much though. Maybe the rear should be a little higher to let the irs do its things?

Lower it, and if you are to close to scraping for comfort, then modify the driveway with a large steel plate.

Lower it and put some wheel spacers on it

Had the same issue with my GT. I had it lowered with the 03/04 Cobra bumper on it, I had to attack my driveway at an angle so I would not rub. But I would lower it again it looks so much better!

lower it! I have the H&R race springs and love it! Could always throw some 2x6's on the drive way. +1 on the steel metal plate. like some steel diamond plate.
