12-175 or 14-175 coilover spring?

[Chuckie B]

Drive my cobra more on the street than the track but want better weight transfer.for both on the street and track

.I have 12-250s on the car...changing to tokico 5way adjustable drag struts also.

Just not sure if I should stay with a 12in spring or go with the 14

Any info/experience would be appreciated.

Team z motorsports recommends the 12-200 with fox body strange single adjustable struts. Haven't had a chance to test on the track yet, but street manners felt good.

Trying to stay away from strange. Too many stories of them making way too much noise.

I recently had to put 12-175 in mine because the 14-175 were rubbing on the coilover sleeve.

How do you like the 12-175s?

They're fine, but had to run the spring perch up to the top of the sleeve to keep the stock-ish ride height.

This is true for the strange 03 cobra strut, the noise is cured with running the shorter height foxbody strut.

How's the weight transfer? Trying to decide if its worth going from a 12-250

Well the springs didn't affect the weight transfer as much as the 90/10 struts, which have been on the car for almost 10 years now. I may put OEM type struts and 12-250 springs in for better street manners since I'm not at the track as much these days.

How are the 90/10s on the street? I keep tossing the idea of 12-175s with 90/10s or the tokico adjustable drag struts. But I don't want to kill the streetability

I haven't had any problems with the 90/10s, but the car doesnt exactly handle like a BMW M3 either. They're totally streetable, just have to respect them for what they are - drag struts.

I run the 14-175 on Strange adjustable struts.
My car does transfer weight and hooks fairly well.
