03-04 rear shocks?

Okay my question is what is the real difference in rear shocks for 03-04 cobra vs a 99-04 gt? Ive read the gt shocks will bolt in to a cobra but the valving is different. Is this true? Can you use gt rear shocks on a cobra? Need help? My car is setup for straight line.

Yes, the shocks are valved different between the IRS and SRA. If you're running an SRA you can probably run the GT shocks.

Okay my car is still irs i was wondering if you could use a gt shock with the irs?

GT shocks are valved to work with the spring rate of a solid axle GT not a Cobra with IRS.

I run the bilstein b8 rear shocks. I was told these are similar to what the 2000 cobra R's have. Seems to work well with h&r race springs.

I'd never want to run a gt shock on a irs cobra.

Thats what i read about the gt shock. Are they basically too soft for a irs?

I believe the spring rate for the Cobra is 600/lb where the GT is 200/lb so yes.

Start a WTB thread here for the shocks or check eBay. There's deals to be had.

Thanks for the info everyone

Great info already posted here.....but also keep in mind, 03/04 cobra coupe vs vert is also different. The spring rate and factory bilstein valving is different, and so are the part numbers. If you are looking for coupe valving, and make a WTB thread....make sure you get hooked up with the coupe strut/shock part number or you'll be completely mismatched if someone sells you vert #s.

The IRS shocks are specific since they taper at the bottom to clear the trailing links and control arm. Should be common knowledge.
