??? about springs

[jcobra]

My 03 cobra had Kenny Brown lowering springs that we cut a bit to get the stance how I wanted it. I have the FRPP suspension on my shelby and im wondering it it can be done with these springs. Id like to bring the rear end down a bit if its possible.

Edit: NO

not sure if it can be done on these? from pics I've seen I think the coils are wound smaller at the ends so it fits in the spring seats. if you cut that out it may not hold itself in anymore. just a thought:shrug:

Do it right the first time and just get coilovers and adjust it how you like it.

The BMR spring will drop it around 2 inches or more after they settle in. Just what I have seen on my car. The FRPP only drop 1 inch if im not mistaken.

Someone sell me their FRPP rear springs!! Haha...seriously.

I haven't looked to see if you could cut them yet, but supposing you can...yeah shouldn't be an issue. I think you'd have to cut the bottoms and heat/reclose the coil for it to sit properly.

springs should never be cut,if you want to be lower than ford racing get the eibachs.They about a half inch lower.

I had eibachs on my 01 cobra years ago and they provided the shittiest ride ive ever had. They were the springs that never stopped lowering.

:nono:Sorry the answer is no for cutting springs on a SN197 car. That is because of the spring design.:nono:

If you think that was shitty wait until you cut some.

I have the full Eibach kit on mine GT500. Rides not much rougher than stock, but only had them a couple months.:shrug:

+1

or better yet, go with coil overs

I wish that is what I did from the start

 

[jcobra]

Thanks guys, I guess cutting springs may not be for me.

I have Eibach sportlines and they are just as easy riding as stock. Only difference is no more of that monster truck body rool when cutting the wheel and turning. everyone that rides in it comments on how it is the nicest riding lowered car they have been in. I hear you on the Eibachs for the new edge body style, but they obviously did their homework on this platform.

I have Eibach PRO-KIT and 20" wheel setup and my car rides better than it ever did stock. It surprised me as I was expecting a harsher ride. I personally am in love with my setup as far as looks, handling, ride quality is as smooth as glass without any road or popping noises.

Steeda here. 1.5 front...2" rear drop..although they did settle a touch bit more...ride is great too!

oh ya, I'm not big on cutting these type springs;-)

 

[que4dog]

You can not cut the GT500 springs but you could on the 03-04 Cobra. Try the steeda's, I love the way they look.

Ride is usually relative to the quality of shock/struts you decided to run...

I've got a friend that put Eibach Pro's in his '00 GT and they have continually sagged over the years (since '03 or so). They finally have stopped, but they're so much lower than when he first put them in it's not funny.
