I just think its silly to have a $30K vehicle with a import style $2 prop rod.

probably not a massive amount because the 03/04 cobras more or less are 'dropped' from the factory.


yeah Eric has this thing about prop rods. At least you don't have to hear about it at work like I do.

Scroll down to the bottom. Note that '03/'04 Cobra will be lowered 3/8" more than the number shown.

Any headers are a pain to install on a 4V.

How is a prop rod considered "import style"? I have three cars and neither of the imports use prop rods.

If I were you I would not worry about headers, just do a o/r x and a catback and be done with the exhaust. You can get well over 500rwhp with the stock manifolds.

Very true!
Headers are only worth it when you step up to a KB or Whipple, imho. The mid-pipe and C/B should be near the top of your list. Nice bang for the buck, and potentially awesome sound, if you choose the right one...

Also, Triax is ok, but the MGW shifter ROCKS!...again, imho

The H&R springs are great. The SS's lower the car the most....in the real world. If you want really low, they are what you want. If you want a lowered and aggressive stance without being "slammed", go with the Race springs. I have them, and couldnt be happier. Dont have any pics of the car, since I destroyed our digital camera.....maybe Santa will have one for me...???

Just "my" wording. The only cars I ever see prop rods on other than Mustangs are low priced cars with 4 cylinder engines. (Is that better?)
