Did the same several years ago along with a 93 Cobra booster and 1"MS. The single best upgrade to date!

Apparently my ex-husband made that mistake.

Did you put a factory 2000 GT axle in the rear? What size tires? Rim backspacing?

Yes it is a 2000 axle so it's a bit longer, but imo looks great with the 2000 GT rims. 245 in rear

I have 93 Cobra MC to go in yet. Also have 93 Cobra booster on my shelf. Going back and forth on whether or not to install it or just try the MC only first.

I would rather have a 93 cobra booster and a stock mc than a cobra mc with a stock booster. The booster in my opinion from personal experience (lot's of experience) is the more important of the two.
