Convertible owners rejoice

That's right, it must have been in the last 2 days eibach added the convertible to the pro kit list. I just ordered mine. 262 shipped through tire rack. Now the question is will I be able to get away with stock caster camber? Also who can install these things in the MA area, how much should it cost to get them installed?

I would personnally put in Maximum Motorsports caster camber plates if I was taking the front-end down and have to do alignment for the springs anyway. This car really needs C/C plates. They are 200 for black, but I am going to get the Triple-Plated Chrome ones.

I just checked there site and they are not showing a system for the 2003 Cobra Convertible. They are showing a system for FORD, Mustang, Convertible, SN95, 4.6 & 5.0/V8 - 2003 (Incl. Cobra w/o IRS) but we have IRS. If you want the best performance you might want to look into the coupe kit instead of a convertible kit. The Convertible is going to have weaker springs like they do stock which is what is causing some of your problems including wheel hop.

Those MM C/C plates are gorgeous!

OT, but you know you have to drill and slot your strut tower brace for those MM cc plates right? There are only 3 holes stock, those need a fourth. If you're gonna run coil-overs you need a 4 hole setup. But with the stock setup, a 3 hole cc plate would work. Not knocking MM's stuff, I think they are great I just doesn't mention that unless you go to the .pdf install instructions at the top of the page..

Yes, you need to drill a hole for the plates. But these are the best plates IMHO especially if you are going coil-over in the future. If I am going to spend $200 on a piece of equipment I try and make sure I am not going to regret it or have to replace it. But definitely it is a good thing you pointed that out because some have different opinions about altering there cars.
