The ol' Cobra is in need of new front and rear suspension components (118k miles on original equip). Before diving in, I'd appreciate some input on the best combos for street use. I may take the car to the track once or twice for fun, but mostly the car is driven to/from work about 100 highway miles each day (no sense parking it in the garage and only driving it on weekends).

My goal would be to lower the car a bit (perhaps 1") for better appearance while making its highway handling (and overall street handling) as good as possible.

I'll be starting in the front and have come across many options, lowering springs, 70/30 struts with coil overs, 99-04 FRPP lower control arms, Steeda ball joints that improve suspension geometry on lowered vehicles, caster/camber plates, etc.

I would appreciate recommendations from anyone whose already made mods such as these on 94-98 convertables.

Thanks
