Who has the best lowering springs? Post pics please....

[gasgzlr]

I have a 01 cobra with 18" wheels and want to close the gap better and not rub or bottom out. I have BBK progressive rate springs and it lowered it a little but not enough. Who has the best looking and comfortable spring out? I love the ride comfort of the BBK's but the drop is not enough...

I'm using Eibach Pro-Kit springs with 18" FR500 rims. It's only my opinion, but the drop is even and just right. The gain in performance (flatter cornering and braking with less nose-dive), with little or no ride degradation is impressive. I have not had any bottoming issues so far. I also found these easier to install than the Steeda Sports, my second choice for springs.
I'll try to post a pic later.

PS......the upgrade to Bilstein (or similar) struts/shocks is also highly recommended.

I'm running the Steeda sport springs and they do the job for me. The car doesn't bottom out and it handles better then stock. I ride on 17inch 03 cobra wheels. They may not be the right choice for you, but here's a pic.;-)

Sport Springs (set) 99-01 IRS Cobra Convertible

I went with the HR Race Springs. A good drop, but not too much (apprx 1.5"). I have 18" Saleen wheels on mine with 275/35/18 all the way around ... No issues at all.

I did change out the shocks/struts at the same time. Went with Bilstein HDs.

Handles very well. Looks great .... No regrets.

That's w/ Eibach prokit springs. I have to say I was pretty unimpressed with their performance, I'd suggest going w/ HR Race springs and a good damper like Bilstein.

If you have big bucks, coilovers are the only way to go

Do you have to roll the fender or have any rubbing problems in the rear?

 

[subterfuge]

I haven't done anything to the rear fenders, and i don't think i will have to. I have had the rear tire hit twice in about 2 months since i did the install. Both times were under extreme cornering, probably twice the posted speed in the corner. And both of those times were becuase of a large bump in the road. Also, i have 315 nitto DR's, a wide tire with alot of sidewall flex doesn't help either.
