Default question about 03/04 corba shocks/struts/springs

what brand shock/struts come with the 03/04 cobra? i think there bilsteins im not sure though, i can get them pretty cheap along with 4 springs, would i be able to install these no problem? and how much would the springs lower my car? im looking for about a 1-1.5" drop, thanks!

Cobras come with bilsteins, but their springs wont lower you. I dontt even know if itll fit. Fronts might but the rear is IRS so it might be off a little.

Only the struts will fit. The IRS had different shocks than the solid axle versions.

the shocks will bolt up but they're wrong for the application. With sport springs, I'd use either Tokico Illumina shocks or MM HD spec Bilsteins. The struts are perfect and with the front springs you'll go about .5-.75" lower. Cut 1/2 a coil off the front cobra springs and they're a good option.
