Hi, I'm looking into lowering my 03 convertible cobra soon but i don't know what springs to get. the problem is i don't know how it would look with the different springs set, i don't want to go to low but i dont want to stay too high ether, if you have any pics or what ur cobras look like and what springs you use it would help a bunch for me to pick a set. i was also wondering when you lower the rear end does it tend to camber a lot like the front does and if so how do you fix it. Thanks :p

I'll help you out becuase you are a fellow Vert owner...I'd normally tell you to go use the search function

I'd recomend you go with the Race, the progressive spring rates really help out the convertibles..they'll also help reduce wheel hop.

H&R Race...top rear iso removed, all other iso's in place:

Cut coupe springs here. I had Eibach's on it but they were too low. I scraped almost everything. The rear geometry will slightly change but can easily be fixed with a 4-wheel alignment. It would probably be a good idea to invest in a nice set of caster-camber plates for the front to get all your alignment specs back.
