[QUOTE="shurur, post: 12535020, member: 113850"] I hope this post doesn't just create a great debate... I've been chicken to post this for fear that it may be inaccurate...But what to hell. I complied this from my pouring over tons of threads on cobra with IRS cut springs. If you use MM (prothane) isos, you will find they are beefier and will rob you of some drop .. ~1/4" on the front and ~3/4"+ on the rear. IMO This works on all the 1999-2004 cobras as slope of coil wind is the same....most settle on 3/4 to 7/8 coil cuts I would take good measurements from LEVEL ground to bottom of fender ( ~ 28" all the way around) THEN I would cut 1/2 coil all the way around first... 1 coil is pretty aggressive..but about an eighth of the coil is flat before it starts to turn upward.. CUT SPRING GUIDE FOR STOCK COBRA with stock isolators. FRONT (+/-) REAR (+/-) 3/8 coil 0.50-0.75 0.75-1.00 1/2 coil 0.75-1.00 1.00-1.25 5/8 coil 1.00-1.25 1.25-1.50 3/4 coil 1.25-1.50 1.50-1.75 7/8 coil 1.50-1.75 1.75-2.00 1 coil 1.75-2.00 2.00-2.25 1-1/8 coil 2.00-2.25 2.25-2.50 [/QUOTE]
