01 Cobra improvement

[QWKSNKE]

Ordered Shelly some sport spring from Kenny Brown the other day and we (Brian/I) got them installed last night. Late I might add!

Impressions are great! Ride (to me) is so much better now. Dropped the rear of the car nearly 1.5" in the rear and .5" in the front. I didn't realize the IRS cobras set up so much higher in the rear. Car sits just hair under 27" at all 4 corners.

275/40 Nitto RII's for the rear and 245/45 Nitto 555's for the front go on Friday along with the alignment.

You ain't gotta be like that! It is not your fault the springs make the car look like my shocks fell off and I am carrying a load of illegal immigrants in the trunk. :weep: :weep: :weep:

Is it tail dragging?
Are these specific springs for the 'vert?

[Italian LX]

Are these specific springs for the 'vert?
Yep, Kenny Brown actually has a different part number for convertibles vs. coupes. :yup:

[QWKSNKE]

With the alignment and new tires, car looks a lot better. I will try to post some pics tomorrow

[Wicked]

Yep, Kenny Brown actually has a different part number for convertibles vs. coupes. :yup:

That just means they're softer(to prevent cowl shake) then coupe springs.

[Italian LX]

That just means they're softer(to prevent cowl shake) then coupe springs.
Which also means they are "vert specific" which answers the question he asked. :P

[QWKSNKE]

That just means they're softer(to prevent cowl shake) then coupe springs.


I think it is the spring height that is different.

[Wicked]

I think it is the spring height that is different.

That's possible. I'm just speaking from looking at stock springs. Convertible springs are much lighter because the body doesn't have the support to put up with the harsher heavier springs.
