New shocks/struts with Steeda sport springs or stock?

[cobracide]

Hi,

I bought the Steeda sport springs and was wondering what might be the best struts/shock to run with them. Should I get some HD Blisteins and have them valved at 750/720? Is it even worth it or should I just use the stock shocks/struts. I'm running a daily driver and looking for a little more sporty feel. Thx for the help!

Steeda Sport springs - progressive
Steeda Sport 1.25"/1"............front 720-780 Rear 650-790 lb/in
Stock 2003 Cobra Coupe............600/600

Good question, I'm interested in knowing this also only difference is I have H&R Race springs.

From MM:

Keep your existing stock struts and shocks or use a set of MM (Bilstein) Sport struts and
shocks. The MM (Bilstien) struts and shocks have about 15% more rebound damping than your 2003 Cobra struts and the strut ears have double the bending stiffness.

So with that I will try the Steeda sport springs on the stock shocks/struts for now. If I need a tighter setup, step up to the sport struts.

The heck with it - got a great deal on the Bilstein Sport dampeners at Tire Rack $663ish delivered. My budget suspension upgrade is almost complete.

I'm running coupe struts and 00R shocks with steeda springs on my vert. Pretty good combo overall.

Actually changed my order for the MM valved sports. ; )
