Intro to THE BIG RED SEXY

[Wizardrex]

I just bought my first 2003 Cobra today in Redfire with 2580 miles on it and I am looking into suspension. I use to do foxbodies but I havent touched one in 5 years whats everyone advise. IE Springs, swaybars, Rims and tires. I'm looking at 500-600 Hp later on down the road epper: epper: epper:

Congrats on the new ride

don't forget to get some SFC's

is it just to change the suspension for the sake of changing it, or did you have something in mind you would like the car to do?

i highly recommend learning to drive the care with proficiency before spending money on suspension mods. but thats me.

I am looking out about six months out when summer comes around. I'm pretty sure I will put on H&R race springs. I'm looking at mm cc plates. also 18 x 9/10 black Saleen Rep, wheels with 275/35/18-305/35/18 Toyo Ra-1. I'm not going to drag race it. I like autocross 1320 is fine but I like to turn. It's my summer car I have an integra gsr as my daily. I had a 65 mustang coupe I got rid of a couple of months and this is the replacment car.

I recommend doing a few events first to get a feel for what you think needs correcting...

I did... and I am amazed at how capable the bone stock Terminators are...
I caught and passed this ZO6 Vette...

Cheap.... yet they really hang on for a non R compound tire!!! VERY IMPRESSED!!!

I used to Ice Race though so sliding is not a problem for me...
They are very predictable at and beyond the limit!!!
