[QUOTE="RPM4DAZ, post: 14210266, member: 54154"] What people are trying to say is, the IRS Cobra have a different motion ratio in their suspension design than the standard rear axle cars. Therefore, the shock valving is a bit different because of it. If you want the best ride for a sport spring set up get a set of K/W dampers or talk to Maximum Motorsports for a set of their specific valved rear Bilsteins. Also the lower ride height sets the rear end higher in the chassis. A shorter rear bump stop change is a mandatory requirement. Hitting bottom in a turn can cause some funny handling and unpredictable responses when driving hard. Something you may want to try is getting lower control arm drop brackets. It may help both the ride a bit and help on both traction and handling. I believe some of the drop brackets actually lower the shock mount too. That will give you a longer installed height on the damper allowing better control and les of a chance at bottoming of the damper... [/QUOTE]
