The ride of my cobra is HORRID, i got FLSC that im getting installed this week but i also want to re-do theshocks and struts and eliminate the quads (gonna do the upper and lower control arms this winter, so my question is as far as struts and shocks go, will ANY 96-98 shock set up fit a cobra? or do i need cobra specific shocks and struts?

Is your car lowered? If so I would get fox length struts. There is no specific shock/strut for base/gt/cobra
yes its lowered, its has after market struts and shocks but they have to be shot!
You're better off with the sn95 struts with an aftermarket CC setup. Most fox guys swap to SN95 struts. I've had both, SN95 length performs better
What is the goal for the car?
Do not do uppers unless you do a P/H bar.
Do not do uppers unless you do a P/H bar.
As long as you have aftermarket CC plates that will allow the strut rod to come up through the mount farther than the factory length struts will work best. Be sure you pull the strut rod through enough, though. For instance (if I remember correctly) if the strut rod was originally sticking up out of the strut tower 1/2" and you lower the car 1.5", then you would need 2" of strut rod sticking up. This will keep the struts from bottoming out. There may be a different formula that you use. If so, someone correct me. It's been a long time since I did mine.
