96 Cobra Lowering Springs

[turbogt42]

I've got a 96 Mystic Cobra with 19 inch Asanti AF120 rims and looking to lower my car. The car looks great with the rims, I think it just needs to be lowered a little. My question of those who've lowered your cobras, how much are you guys lowering your cars and if you have any pics.

OK here we go (again) there is a crap ton of info on this if you look for it. The biggest problem with lowering one of these cars is that it places the roll center below pavement level, which adversely effects handling. To do this right, you not only need the springs, but lower 2X steeda (or MM) ball joints, a bump steer kit and possibly caster camber plates. In some cases you may need to lower the rack as well.

Here's a set of GT springs cut 1-1/2 coils

here's an illustration of the roll center issue

and you'll need these
