Got the Cobra lowered, de-spoiled, and wheeled up

[KaNolton]

Well since this weekend's weather was a bit nicer than the last, got out early this morning and cut the springs, painted the calipers, took of the spoiler, and threw on the Saleens. Let me know whatcha think :banana:

Before

The car rides great. Cut 1 coil up front and 3/4 out back and took out all the isolators.

Sorry for the night pictures, ran outta daylight.

Next up, shifter, LED taglights, and HID Fogs, tint, and other misc dress up. I'm gonna get it tame power wise. But I am taking it on the track in a few months so FLSFC, new bushings, new rotors and stuff like that. Maybe even some new shocks and struts if funds allow.

And I also ordered a set of 01+ headlights today that should be here by the end of the week.

And I am still in search of some center caps, I bought the wheels used so I don't know what company made them and I am having the hardest time finding the correct size cap.

As of right now the only other modifications to the car is a flowmaster cat-back and an adjustable clutch.

I go to school up in Kennesaw, so around Cobb. But right now I'm on spring break so I'm back home near Henry County.

Jonesboro is my hometown. I moved up this way due to job. My family is all around the Atlanta Motor Speedway.

There you go! That's how you make progress great job :rockon:

Not positive...but I think any center caps from FRPP should fit right in there.

Cut the springs?!?! My eyes! Nah, JK! Does she ride good? Any problems realigning? Your Car is sexy, although chrome saleens would have looked better.

Man, night and day difference. I wouldn't change a thing if you're happy with what you've got. Enjoy!!

Thanks bud! :rockon:

I was thinking about polishing them, but they look sexy in silver and really make the paint pop.

The car rides just like stock and I did not have any problems with the alignment.

Thanks man! :beer:

I was thinking about going a little lower, but I love not having to worry about speedbumps or steep driveways.

About the alignment, you may not notice any difference driving but I'm sure you'll start to notice the tire wear...

I'm gonna have it re-aligned on Monday for that reason. While it drives straight now I don't wanna be buying tires in 5,000 miles.

 

[svtsmo]

i really like that. that made a big difference

 

[totheduals]

how did you paint the calipers?
did you remove them?

No sir, Just taped everything up and then went back with silver high-temp paint with a paintbrush to get the raised COBRA.

[getTwisted]

[Kingcater]

Looks a lot better. I had that spoiler on my 2000 GT. I hated it.....

 

[99MustangGTman]
