If I were you I would just buy new springs like H&R, or just get some stock springs and cut them, to the height you want.

I have a set of un-cut stock cobra springs w/isolators that were on the car only a year and a half. If you want them I can box them up and ship them to you but it will cost about $100 with shipping. PM me if interested.

I've seen scary ass damage done to the undercarriage on cars that were lowered too much. A pimped out Saleen vert was the worst. Exhaust flanges, bell housing, K-member, rocker panels, lower valiance panel all looked like someone put a 36" disc grinder to the underside of the car :nonono: Nothing was spared! The bottom on the bell housing was almost "holed-thru" exposing the torque converter :eek: Imagine the stupidity of the owner ignoring the warnings every mechanic gave him about the condition of his car :bash:

I am curious, post a picture of your car. I want too see how low it actually sits! I mean if you cant even go over railroad tracks then that must be pretty freaking low.

Wait a minute...I lowered that car. lol
Those are stock springs with one coil removed...yeah that Cobra is nearly slammed. Looks good but the Xpipe is wayyy too low. Not sure why cory never replaced it or did something else with it but I'm positive that the midpipe can be adjusted.

:nonono:

I can't believe you worked on anything :lol1:

J/k.

Sounds like an easy fix; just deal with the midpipe and try again.

A lot of folks cut 3/4 to 1-coil off the stockers and everything is ok.

Otherwise grab some HR Race or Steeda springs and call it a day.
