would stock 03 cobra springs be any lower than stock v6 springs at all?

and would the rears work on a v6?

 

A little maybe,but they would'nt work on the rear at all.

 

dang it thats what i was afraid of lol

thanks man

 

Cobras have irs so the back is out of the question. How low you looking to go?

 

dont lower like sean, his fronts rub lol.

 

Only at full turn...

 

i really dont have a certain " amount in mind, definitely lower than stock tho lol. how low do most people go? i'd like to keep a decent degree of ride quality if i can since i drive this thing every day and the roads in biloxi still arent all paved

 

seans pretty much as low as you can go...

i have the same springs but i kept the top isos in the front and rear.

 

what springs are they? on base here the roads arent bad really but offbase there are some places where its rough so i dont wanna be like scraping holes in my exhaust as im drivin down the road lol.

 

Look in my sig for everything, but the springs are H&R SuperSports. I left the iso's out to give it a tiny bit more of a drop. It won't be to the point where your scraping everything on the road. Only difficult part can be gutters and speed bumps. If you go past an inch drop I strongly suggest getting C/C plates and shocks/struts. You gotta decide what you wanna do with the car before you play with suspension. Is it just for looks, track, autox, etc..?

 

crap that means more than i thought i would have to spend lol. its really just for looks. its stock except for a cai so im not going to be taking it to the track or anything. would just an inch drop even be that much of an improvement tho?

 

Yeah to slam a car correctly isn't cheap, **** adds up real quick haha. I personally did mine for a badass stance and for future autocross use, plan to rarely visit the strip so that wasn't my concern.

Lowering the car an inch definitely looks good, but if you're doing it for looks I'd personally go lower.

To give an idea of what it looks like dropped an inch, heres Spike's. He's a drag ***** and this was the best set up for him at the strip. Bullet springs with bottom iso's taken out I believe:

 

wow...i still have the stock 16's so just an inch might barely even be noticeable lol. i dono if i wanna go as low as you because i'd like to have a little extra ground clearance. maybe like 1.5" or somethin like that. i dono, its gonna be awhile before i get to this point anyway.

 

1.5" is always a good median.

 

so how much would i be looking at with the whole deal (shocks/struts, plates and springs)somewhere around 500 bucks?

 

Cost is variable. Depends on what kinda deals you can pick up and what all you decide to go with.

Heres a list of $ that I put into it:

H&R SS Springs- $235
MM C/C plates- $188
Tokico Illumina Shocks/struts- $360
Alignment- $50

Installing everything yourself will save you a lot. Also check out ebay for the shocks/struts, you can find some killer deals on there.

 

ah crap lol....this is gonna take longer than i thought.

and i'll be installing everything myself so thats good then.

 

Lol yeah like I said, **** adds up real quick. You could just pick up some springs and ride on the stock shocks/struts for awhile till you have money for the rest, but know that you are working them harder than there designed for and will go out quicker. A lot of ppl do spring installs first and get some shocks later on, so it's always an option. I personally just decided to do it all at once and leave it at that, won't have to worry about it later down the road.

 

that may be what i do, but i'd probably put off the shocks until i wore them out lol. thanks for your help bro

 

Lol np man, good luck.

 

my best tip is get springs and cc plates at the same time.

 

Yeah if you are going to do it on a budget. I would get springs and Caster camber plates first. You can do the shocks/struts later when they are worn out. Also if you search you can get your springs used and cc plates used too. I paid $50 shipped for my bullit springs new from someone who sold their car and never installed them.

 

good idea...ill look around once i've got the cash saved up for it lol.
