Well I bought Eibach springs (Pro Kit) for my Cobra last year thinking that it would lower my car the way I wanted it to. Since I had them on my last Mustang (Roush).

I am trying to figure out what I should do. I don't want my car to be slammed completely. But I think I can get a better drop than what I have now. I have looked into H&R Super Sport Springs and I think Steeda makes some new springs that I seen on here that looked good.

My question is should I look into buying new springs or could I take my ISOs out and do you think that would lower the car a little more and keep me satisfied. Pictures and suggestions would be nice!!!!!

MY CAR - Do you think this looks good or should I buy H&R SS or take ISOs out

removing iso's will help a little, would try that first before buying new springs :)

That is what I was thinking. I just want a little more of a drop to close that gap in a little. So I am thinking of just removing the ISOs instead of buying new springs. :thumbsup:

Considered H&R race? not as much of a drop as the SS springs from what I hear, but are great springs and ARE a pretty low drop.

The pics i've seen of H&R race look *about* inbetween your current setup, and the roush...

Although you could just take the ISO's out and get to where you want to be...

I am thinking I should just take the ISOs and see how that turns out and probably go from there before I want to spend 200+ dollars on springs again (That seems like the logical thing to do.

But I figure if I am going to get under there and take the springs out I might as well buy some new springs that will lower it how I want it.

I may just fork out the cash for a new pair of springs and sell these Eibachs.

Any "HOW TO" on Springs? I got these Eibachs installed by a shop.

I think I would rather cut 1/3-1/2 coil than remove isos because sometimes you'll get noise.

That's funny that you say that because I thought about doing that as well or having someone do that for me.



DOES ANYBODY HAVE PICTURES OF THE H&R RACE SPRINGS ON THERE COBRA????

There are sh!tloads of pics of those springs on cars floating around here... look around. IMO they sit just a bit lower than your car does now but not as low as your other car, as was stated by MustangThief already.

I'll have to do a crazy search and look around. I am trying to compare because If I like the drop and the way it looks I may just purchase them and get them put on. I am trying to make this car look exactly how I want it. I have a vision I am just trying to execute now.

EDIT: I found some info on the H&R Race Springs and found 1 Picture of someone who has the H&R Race Springs (Knoxville Cobra). If money is well and things are going well then I will purchase the H&R Race Springs. If not then I will try the ISO deal and just do that.

I had the same problem when i put my pro kit in my coupe back in '04, I put the springs in and it didnt go down as for as i wanted it to so i removed all the isos and it sat perfect.

^^Thanks alot man!!! That's all I needed to hear and see. I really appreciate it. That sits great! Does anybody know of a writeup on how to do this or would a shop do something like that for me.

That DSG is very nice by the way. Looks great.
