A set of 2003 Cobra Bilstein Shocks and Struts. They were on a stock Cobra but the owner went with a coilover/Tokico shock setup.

They were used, but not to extreme condition....

Will there be any fitment issues? Can anyone recommend springs to go with this setup?

Did you want to go ahead and mention what kind of car you have?

I think the front struts would work, but the rears wont because Cobras have an IRS rear, while your GT has a solid axle. I love my Bilsteins.

kinda

The fronts will fit and work fine, the rears will not fit your car. 2003 Cobras have IRS, you have a solid axle. You will need different shocks.

*woah I guess I got beat to the punch!*

Oh and dude, you need to get rid of that miserable piece of grade school art at the bottom of your post.

I'm not sure what the "miserable piece of grade school art" you are referring to (as it appears he has since changed his sig), but is it really necessary to use that tone? No wonder why there are so many people who bad mouth StangNet...it's, in part, because of attitudes like this.

Tone? This is text, there is no tone.

03/04 struts are good! Grab some bilstein HD rear shocks to match - or just get a whole set of bilstein HD's if you are paying around the same price for the 03/04 struts... all depends on what you can afford and what you want.

I was trying to keep it civil. OK, scratch "use that tone" and replace with "be an a$$hole".
