^Thanks man. It has come a long way in two weeks.
It is riding on c springs with no iso's. It looks bad ass but commuting around austin roads can take a toll lol. Fun car with no problems just throwing it out there.

How is the ride quality over stock? I've heard "C" are very stiff and ride rough. Still stock shocks? I'm in the process of trying to figure out what springs to get. I thought I had a deal with some Sportlines but it never happened.
I love those 03/04 Cobra wheels. They look to be the satin finish?
Looks good:beer: Any other mods?
Good looking car any details on the car miles, mods, plans? S/C?
Over stock these springs are very noticeable considering its very stiff and "can" be rough depending on the road lol. Example-like running over a decieving pot hole can shake the whole car and cause a quake. Compared to my past two cobras(which were fully done up with suspension)"c" springs are not my fav. but do slam the car which is a plus. I've never had sportlines before but I can imagine it might be a bit more forgiving.
Yeah they are in the satin finish with 275/40?17's all the way around. Look familiar?
I was thinking of running the 10th Anniv. wheels or 03/04 Cobra wheel. The satin wheels look great on your car.
What are the other "2" spring brands that you used before?? Likes and dislikes?
Thanks for your help!! :thumbsup:
Thanks man same with yours. I need a better camera those pics don't do justice!
The car itself is sitting at 108K and runs like new. I didn't want to get another s/c car because of the pain of daily commuting 450hp with no a/c. Boo-hoo I know, suck it up right? Me no I moved on and plus mpg doesn't suck either(puts some more dough in my pocket for raman =-).
The car has:
Drivetrain
JLT CAI(black)
MGW short throw
FRPP 4.10's
FRPP king cobra
Exhaust
Bassani offroad x
Magnaflow catback
Suspension
FMS C springs
BBK UCA's and LCA's
Drilled and slotted all the way around
Interior
Kept my black leather seats out of the bab(I know heart wrenching but they are mint and mine)
Entire mach 460 removed and replaced with(Bad ass):
Alpine IVA-D310 head unit
Arc audio componets(4)
Alpine MRP-F240
Alpine MRD-M605
Alpine 10" R built into back seat to specs(knocks)
Custom rear seat delete with amp rack
Autometer oil pressure and a/f on a pillar
Polished one off bullet shifter bezel
Shift light
Appearance
Had them on all my cobras, 03-04 svt cobra satin finished wheels with bfg gforce 275/40/17's all the way around(also from the bab lol)
Blue oval industries smoked fog's
Kaenan S-281(I painted)
Legal max tint
Custom billet spark plug wires
SS inserts black mirroed titanium inserts(the bad ass ones)
Future:
I want to paint the mirrors this week along with the door inserts. Prolly change the exhaust and build around the motor to keep it healthy and that's it. Like I said I've done fast cars before this is my first n/a. And sell it......

Yeah man I think the 03-04 wheels look really clean on any sn95(green, bab, rio red lol).
As far as suspension go's I mean it all depends on what path your taking your car towards. Need some more info.
I want the car to look lowered but still maintain a good ride quality. I'm not going hardcore Road Racing or Drag racing. Just want a nice weekend warrior that looks kick ass.
