Car is 97 cobra Which would suit me best? Car has Lakewood fox front 90/10 drag struts up front with 150lb coil overs the rear has Lakewood 50/50 shocks and eibach sportlines in the rear. I run 275/60-15 Hoosier drag radial with 15x10 rear still has Rake but if I switch to the drag springs I’m sure it’s going to be drastically high in the rear correct? I also have adjustable upper and lower rear control arms and panhard bar car was previously set up with 375lb front coils. I get pretty decent weight transfer even with the rear sportlines which have 140-295 rate.just trying to get the best 60’ I can

Some time zone
Id go with those team z foxbody springs, based on the weight of your car.

It would be nice if they told you the actual spring rate.
When something like a stock V6 SN95 or a stock 4 cylinder Foxbody rear spring, MIGHT do.

Oh wow, I thought it was an 03 cobra, the photos didn’t show up. Not to mention I totally missed where he said the year. Cocaine is a hell of a drug.
Yeah I’m SRA currently running eibach sport lines in the rear with Lakewood 50/50 sn95 shocks. Up front I’m running 150lb 12” coil overs with 90/10 Lakewood fox struts
