What springs are you running?

[03 DSG Snake]

Just curious to see what lowering springs you guys are using on the Cobras and which are most popular.

After voting for the manufacturer, please reply with the model (i.e. race/sport) and any other equipment you needed such as a bump steer or ball joint kit.

Thanks

H&R race springs with urathane isolators and MM caster/camber plates. I haven't run into any bumpsteer, yet.

H&R SS, best drop I've seen on these cars yet (aside from C/O).. Used the MM Urethane also for stability/slightly higher ride height and belive the car to sit right where I want it, 1.5" drop in front and 1.75" in rear. Car rides stock and looks so much better. Tire rack is best price that I've seen...

Hey Abtin,

Can you afford a digital camera or what man?

I'm running the Cobra R springs which were manufactured by Eibach. I also have M/M spring isolators and caster / camber plates.

Steeda sports....The backs sit a little high. Only dropped about 1/2 inch. Fronts look great. They dropped a full inch.

I am going to switch to H&R rears when I do my irs MM bushings.

about to go foird racing drag springs but im going solid axle...H&R seem to be the best with the IRS imo

Ghetto lowering springs !!!

I will probably get some flak for having done what I did but what the heck. I decided to try something before droping the cash for the H&R springs and I'm glad I did... I cut the factory springs approximately 1 full coil and here are the results:

The car does ride a little more harsh than before but I expected some deterioration in ride anyways. The car looks great in my opinion... I may keep them untill I'm sure if I want to change them anyhow...

Are those the "normal" sports or the 03 Cobra specific springs?

I'm going to go with H&R Super Sports.

What are the possible problems one might encounter cutting the factory springs ? Has anyone other than extremejc went this route ?

 

[Juiced-03]

H&R's for me!

 

[arts5l]

If I could get a set of H&R's, they are my first choice. I have been waiting since first week in march and everyone keeps telling couple of weeks. Finally gave up and went with eibachs.

Eibach Pro with stock insulators.

my springs were cut for many miles with a good ride and better handling, everyone who rode in it said it rode good too, now i have steada and my car sits higher and rides the same, the cobra springs are not progresive rated so cutting a little will not affect spring rate that much only ride height

 

[Roush9703]

eiback prokit with only the bottom isolator in the front, and both stock isolators in the rear. for me it set perfectly, with a nice mean looking rake.

HBH (Horse Power By Herman)

I had the Eibach springs in my Cobra, they didn't lower or give me look I was looking for. So I cut one full coil out of the stock springs, the car sits perfect as far as I'm concerned. Just my 2-cents.

 

[venomous99]

h&r race springs with the stock isolators. ride is just right and the car sits about the same height as a cobra lowered with eibach prokits w/out the softer spring rate.
i was going to with the sport springs but am totally happy with the race springs.
