I'm ordering the H&R springs for my 2001 cobra with IRS and I'm trying to figure out if the sports are lower or the race, anybody know for sure???

There was just a thread around here the other day on this but I can't remember. :bash: Look back a few days and you'll probably find it.

I have the Race springs now.

I forget what kind of car that was. It's my cousin's house and he was letting someone park there for a little while.

Yeah, the the sports are tons lower. It's just too bad H&R don't know that.

I won't be selling them just yet. I want to make sure that all is well with the coil-overs in case I need to go back to the springs if something doesn't work out. But if I do and none of my friends want them I will give you first crack at them. But it could be a while until I decide I won't need them though.

Sounds good or I may just say hell with it and buy from these guys cheapest price on H&Rs that Ive found so far, only $225 plus $30 S&H

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33582&item=2477319498&rd=1

If none of your friends want them and you decide you dont need them anymore send me a message. Thanks

What Coil overs are you going with? What else have you done Im pretty unsure what a coilover install takes to get it done. Ive swapped spindles on my 87 5.0 to SN95 5 lugs but never messed with tthe coil springs/shocks.

Will do. I'll save this thread if I don't remember or you can send me a pm in a month or two to see where I'm at.

I'm getting the MM coil-overs. I debated whether to do the install myself or have it done. I decided to just somebody do it since I couldn't get past the first part in the instructions for the rears. I can't get that stupid thing off. I don't even know what it's called. With something like this I would feel a little safer having someone who's done it a few times, I had to many questions for me to feel safe. To get an idea of the install go here. http://www.maximummotorsports.com/instructions/MMCO-1r1.pdf

I got the H&R sports from tire rack($231 shipped), the super sports were for non IRS and I have IRS so I got the sports. It says it should give 1.6 front and 1.5 rear, that'll be good enough for me having the 315's and all it should even out well.
