Opinions on Springs and the kits that are offered for my 4x4 of a 97 Cobra.
Also are caster/camber plates a necessity when accomplishing this task?
Thanks

No need to really spend $2,500 on a brake system when the car really is not all that fast or nice for that matter

make sure you watch the pinion angle on the front axle, and you may need to mess with your front dricveshaft

Eibach springs are well known, and a reason is good results....Depending on how intense you want to go...Coil overs, I've personally never been in a street car with, but I've heard not so good results as travel ends up being too little for the MI roads...
Keep us posted though, after you've spent the ton, save someone else a few $$$ with your results...
I had coilovers on my Cobra

If it is a show car then get lowering springs, if you are going to race the car a lot of people use stock four cylinder springs and cut them to lower the stance where they want it.

Remember those Eibach Springs I was telling You about?
I took them off the car yesterday, i put a coilover kit on the Front, and drag rear springs....

Hey now... My 95 has tan interior :pow:
Anyways back on track here me and my friend just did the suspension on my 95. Very straight forward and easy to do IMO and I have very limited mechanical experience.
What I went with:
Steeda CC plates
Eibach Sportline Lowering Springs
Energy Suspension isolaters on all 4 corners
KYB AGX adjustable shocks/struts
Its sitting a LOT better now, but should still settle down a little further w/ some additional seat time. Good luck man :thumbsup:

I'll take your word for it. I don't know how to look at his account or to see if he has been banned. So why does everyone seem to dislike him so much anyways? Im a fairly new member so I really don't have much of an idea.
