svtp! lowered the car (finally) today. With the help of a buddy (fst04snk) actually he did all the work while I sat and watched with a brew in hand. :beer:
just kidding haha. anyways.. new set up is; H&R race springs top isos only, steeda x2 ball joints (no spacers), steeda bump steer, MM sway bar end links.
after multiple failed attempts with spring compressor we found out that the rear springs are mmmmuch easier to do by dropping the irs than using a spring compressor (auto zone rental was a piece of shit). mm flsfc's, mm strut tower brace, and mm solid steering rack bushings waiting to go on soon. After seeing how weak the irs looks, upgrades for it are on the to do list.

did an impromptu shoot after work today (galaxy note 3 no filter and HDR effect 9.6M16:9) excuse the dirty car, went from the lift straight to work.



Warning: mach 1 chin spoiler on 03/04 cobra :p

Looks good! The rear springs are definitely easier just lowering the rear of the IRS. I did my 99 Cobra front and back in about an hour and a half on my driveway using that method.

Looks good! Question for you what size tire are you running on the front. I am running Nitto 555 275/40/17s and I have H&R race springs and when I throw my car hard into the corner the front tire rubs the fender. It's annoying as hell. I think the nitto 275/40/17 may be bigger than others. I am about to put my isolaters back in and have the car re-aligned. Have you thrown it into a corner hard yet? Do you have any rubbing problems. When I say hard I am talking about at the edge of the rear end stepping out.

Car looks good! What tires are you running on the rear? Any spacer?

Car looks great. Always loved this exterior color/wheel color combo.

I know you warned us, but I cannot stand Mach 1 chin spoilers on a Termiantor front bumper. Besides that, great work!

Looks awesome, but please take the Chin spoiler out, that only belongs on new edge GT'S or Mach ones

Other than that, beautiful car
