Hey guys, I know this has been discussed before but I cant find it. What is stock ride height for our cobras... Thanks.......
stock ride height

Yeah, there are some other threads on this. I just happen to be getting some springs tomorrow (stock coupe springs for my vert) and so I measured mine before changing them out:
Stock '04 Cobra Convertible suspension:
LF=27"
RF=27"
LR=27.75"
RR=27.25"
These are measured from the ground straight up to the bottom edge of the fender lip. My LR is a little higher, but this may resolve with my weight in the driver's seat...

Wow, I think verts sit a little lower than coupes. With Kenny Brown lowering springs on my coupe, measurments are:Cobra-21 said:
LF=26.5
RF=26.5
LR=27.75
RR=27.75(maybe 1/8" lower)
That's a little surprising. But then again the verts have a lower rate spring in them:
Coupe fronts=600 lbs/in
Vert fronts=500 lbs/in
Coupe rears=600 lbs/in
Vert rears=470lbs/in
So you might expect verts to sit slightly lower and ride "softer". On the other hand, my car doesn't really look low to me. Also, Ford specifies a different shock part# on both ends for the convertible...
I'm wondering,did you use stock isolators? If you added aftermarket, such as MM, that could actually be raising your height slightly.

your ride hight should look good. Mine sits at 26.5 front and 27 rear with the h&r race isos removed in the front and stock isos in the rear. Im hoping they settle a bit. anybody with coupe stock measurement?

I used all stock isolators. I actually went out and measured again last night. Fronts= 26.5 Passenger rear=27.5 Driver rear= 27.68
The LR always sits higher than the RR and it pisses me off! FWIW, this is on 1/4 tank of gas.

I forgot my mesurments, but I know that my left rear sits higher than right rear as well. Don't remember how much though. Car has been in the dealer for two weeks now. I should get it back monday and I'll re-measure. Thanks for the replies..
