Some of you guys should post your setups in here.

on the fronts leave the top IN, and the rear leave the bottom IN

Thanks!

see sig, H&R race no top rear iso's

FYI, the whole myth/rumor about springs with no isolators are noisy is just that, it's BS. It's just not true. I have had my set up since 2008 and never heard a peep.

Race springs here, no isos. No noises, been like this for 8 years now. With my Steeds x2 ball joints, I can go another 1/2" lower ip front, but that's too low and would rub everywhere.

I guess another big factor that i didnt think of at the time is what size wheels you're running. Ive got my stock wheels, but if you've got 18's on it, it would close the gap that much more. Since im running OEM wheels, i might leave in the lower isos and take the uppers out on Race springs. It looks like you've got 18's on yours... i think.

I might be wrong but i think the top isos are kind of like the top leaf spring on a pickup, it doesn't get used unless you put a big load on it. That might be the same case with cobras, the top iso never really gets touched or rubbed unless you hit a big bump or are carrying passengers. Just a thought though.

Kevin,
My name is Randy "Dutch" Deutschendorf and I live in Frisco, TX. I have a 04 Cobra and I'm waiting for the TF wheels (Sleeper with the 04 Sleeper offset) that I ordered to show up. I'm looking to lower the car for the obvious reason - appearance and somewhat for handling. I remember the article on your old car and if I remember correctly you had H&R Race Springs in the rear and cut stock springs up front. Not sure if you had one or both ISOs removed. I would like to firm the ride up a little (stock springs are a little spongy) and have looked at the poll results on the forum. Trying to decide which springs to go with. Would like to discuss the various options with you. Also I'm looking for assistance to help with the install - I know you're close to my location and was wondering if you would be interested in helping me out. If not, do you have someone that you could recommend. Here is my contact info: [email protected] or text/call at 630-777-5372. Thanks!

Just cut the factory springs to the desired height. That way you can get the EXACT ride height you desire and keep the ISO's in place.

I hope you aren't serious... Cut springs on a termi :nonono:

In my opinion, go with coilovers. They're adjustable so when you decide the its not low enough, or too low, you can adjust them to your desired height.

And you call them termi. Coilovers isn't the best option on these cars for everyone. Some like them, some hate them. Same thing with aftermarket k members.

Are we on the same page that cut springs aren't the answer though?

I agree for the most part, but if it's a mostly stock cobra I don't see the problem. I wanted a stiff spring rate.

I went with H&R Race but nothing wrong with cutting stock springs. It doesn't hurt them they are linear If I remember correctly.

H&R Race springs, no front isos, rear upper oem iso - no noise!

 

[bigmoose]

I like the ride feel with my H&R race. My previous cobra had the eibach pros and I hated the progressive spring rate feel. I felt they gave the car too much roll.

I have run Eibach Pro, H&R Race, MM Coilovers. Coilovers installed correctly way better than the other two but like the H&R a bit better than Eibach. As far as noise/rougher ride on minus isos that is not always a Myth. Had Isos taken out on vert and it was noisey and rough mostly in harder bumps. Added poly isos and it quieted down and was nicer ride. Think a lot has to do with road quality.
