Should I Install the H&R Springs? Pics Inside

I think the tires are sumitomos (sp)
Yes, put the springs on so I know for sure that those tires will fit on an H&R lowered car. You're my ginea pig
You definately need springs. Whether or not H&R's might be the right choice, you won't know until you install them. Since H&R's lower your car 1.5-1.75" you might have issues with the top of the tire bumping up against the fenderwell lip when you hit a dip in the road.
I have 315's in the back & my car is lowered 1.25" with Steeda Sport springs & my tire used to hit the fenderwell lip when I hit a dip in the road. I fixed that problem by getting some stiffer shocks (03 Cobra shocks).
If once you install those H&R's & they don't work, send me a PM. I'll be willing to trade you my Steeda Sports Springs for the H&R's & I'll even pay for the shipping.
Here's a pic of my car w/ 315's & Steeda Springs.

Looks great as it is, but will look even better lowered!!!
18 inch rims
what other rims look good on a 03 cobra that come with 10.5 for the rear? is the .5 make enough of a diffrence becuase i want to get the saleen chrome rims but if .5 makes any more traction then i defiantly want it

Can anyone tell me how I can go about installing the H&R springs? I was thinking of dropping down the IRS some. All I have to do is unbolt the shock from the trunk, put a jack under the control arm and then take the 2 bolts out of the IRS and let that side down slowly, the spring should drop out, place the new spring in and then proceed to other side of IRS? Is this correct for install rear springs? Fronts are cake, never done IRS.
wow.. that looks very nice. i have exactly the same rims sitting in my garage. are you running any spacers?? i don't want to order any tires until i know exactly what i need to clear the irs bolt.
please let me know.
thank u very much.
