axle swap...can we keep our shocks

[Steeda1]

Doing an axle swap with a Mach 1 sunday...have a few Questions...
He wants to keep his Tokico 5-way shocks with the IRS. Will that work? If it will, can I use my stock shocks with the live axle? I'm also taking his H&R supersports in the rear. I plan on using his front springs as well(so the back isn't slammed w/stock front). Will the front H&R's from a Mach be ok on a cobra?
Thanks for the info...I'll let you guys know how it turns out... :beer:

Using his springs will work fine it will be the same rolling chassis as a Mach 1 with the solid axle. As far as the shocks go your stock shocks are going to be way to strong for a solid axle. I am fairly sure that his Tokico's will be severely under dampened and will not work with the IRS.

I just checked Steeda and the Tokico 5-Way Adjustable they have listed for the solid axle cars state they do not fit 99-02 Cobras. This is most definitely due to the IRS so his shocks will not work with your IRS.
