[QUOTE="mustangvsix, post: 10554273, member: 74332"] found this, hope it helps: "Looking at the other Bilstein post, you are looking for the Bilstein HD units. The -h1 were replaced with -h3 some years ago. These struts I have are not the ones you are looking for. The 03 Cobra ones are approximately 1" shorter than the HD units, to compensate for the factory lowering for the 03 Cobra. 03 Bilstein Coupe version should also have revised damping rates than the HD units to match the higher rate springs used on the 03 Cobra (600lbf/in for the 03-04 Cobra vs. 470 lbf/in for HD). These dampers I have would only work well with stiffer springs rates similar to the 03-04 Cobra coupe springs. Bilstein Convertible version are matched to 500lbf/in springs. These would be equivalent to the HD you are looking for, with the exception of the shorter strut length to compensate for the factory lowering." "the vert is 115-120lbs heavier and the springs/shocks/struts vary (are softer) and they have less stiffness overall" [/QUOTE]
