I put 17x10.5 bullitt wheels on a 1996 cobra +28mm offset with nitto 315/35/17, they hit the quad shock on both sides, tried flipping the shock around but it is the same. Maybe when it is on ground it would clear?, compared to being jacked up? I though these would be no problem, do the rear cobra disc change track width compared to a GT? Also rubs the passenger side tail pipe a little bit, but I think it won't be an issue.

If you flip them and they still hit, they obviously need removed.

A good set of LCA's will more than compensate for no quad shock.

I've got UMI lift bars......I love them. Did away with quad shocks. They supposedly slow suspension response I know plenty of people that remove them with stock control arms.

Suspension Anyone know if a stiffer rear shock will eliminate too much rear end travel?
