It might be a stupid question but if im wrong just let me know im about to order struts and shocks and lowering springs. in the rear It appears our cobras have four shocks. does the new shock and strut kit come with four shocks or two shocks. :shrug:
rear shock question
- Thread starter 97svtman
- Start date
Our rears have 2 standard shocks and a set of quad shocks. When you order new shocks it will be to replace the 2 standard shocks.
i removed my quad shocks... i dont even think they have a replacement shock..
You will not need to buy new quad shocks. They are there from the factory to control wheel hop. Some people remove them and say there are no problems and some swear by leaving them in. It is just a personal preference.
thanks what do you think of tokico hp and eibach sportline springs with isolators. and lower ball joints. also waiting on 03 cobra heads to come out of the machine shop so i can start my c-swap with some nitrous... cant wait ill post lots of pics.
Tokico hp's are a decent shock/strut for the money. If you have the cash I would get Koni yellows or Bilsteins for ride quality. If you are going to do a lot of drag racing I would look into an adjustable shock/strut set. I have the Eibach Sportlines on my car and I like them. I would get Steeda X2 balljoints, and poly a arm bushings if needed, or you could get 03/04 cobra a arms, but they have gotten a little pricey here lately.
I'm not sure about the ON3 kits, but you can search around on these forums and on the net and find some good info. I know a lot of people are running them now.

This kit will allow you to keep your factory accessories all in the stock locations and still drive down the road blowing cold air from the A/C and taking each turn with the comfort of power steering. Doesn’t get much better than that on top of knowing you have 500+ rear wheel horsepower and all maintain all accessories.

ADDITIONAL PARTS TO COMPLETE THE INSTALL:
- QA1 Kmember Kit including: K-Member, Tubular A-arms, and Coil-over kit $649 shipped
- On 3 Performance MAF kit (calibrated to specific injector size) $195
- Injectors: Ford Motorsport 42# Set of (8) $299 or Deka 60# Injector Set of (8) $349
- Bump Steer Kit
TURBO OPTIONS: PRECISION OR MASTER POWER UPGRADE PRICES:
- 70mm Master Power Turbo is $279
- 76mm Master Power $399
- 67mm Precision Cast Wheel Turbo $649
DETAILS FOR INSTALLING ON 96-8 CARS:
- The kit has not been tested on these cars and there are a few changed compared to the 99+ Cobra.
- Coil Pack Location
- Radiator Cross-over to thermostat tube
- Intercooler pipe going into the throttle body
Here is the deal, the next choice going turbo on your car is $6,000+ and this will still allow you to keep on budget. Most people will make a simple “L” bracket and move the coils to the firewall. Very simple to do and really doesn’t require any special tools besides for maybe a bench vice. We are not 100% sure yet on the lower coolant tube fitment but would just recommend to pick up one of the flexible radiator pipes. They can be had for around $40 and solve any issues with this. This is the same thing we run on the 99 Cobra as well to give more clearance and route easier. Last known issue is the angle going into the throttle body. The 96-8 come out pointing forward slightly compared to the 99+ intakes. You should be able to get it close just cutting the elbow off currently that goes to the throttle body and the couplers should allow for enough movement. If not it would just be a simple fix and maybe ½ shop hour to get that correct. Estimate around $100 to accomplish these mods and still will put you in well below the comparable $6,000+ dollar kits on the market. On top of that, its very minimal work and shouldn’t be more than a couple hours of work.
DETAILS FOR INSTALLING ON MACH 1’S:
We have had a few customers do the install and has required the front shaker bracket to just be trimmed. The AC lines run right below the turbo but just tweaking them out of the way is no problem and will your hands. We have not done the install personally at the shop but customers have confirmed and as you see, successfully managed the install.
