Hi: I wanted to know what was the suspension on the Cobra R. I want to get side exhausts and lower my car. I have a V6 so I wanted to know how much should i lower it or whats the suspension setup on the Cobra R.
Thanks!
I was Looking for the 00 Cobra R, Im getting the Spintech Side Exhaust with the Cobra R tips and I wanted to know how much could i lower my car. Do any of you know the tips size? are they 2", 2.5" or 3"?
THanks again.
Well you would have to rip that live axle out from under there, replace a bunch of stuff to support the brakes that fit on the cobra IRS. Maybe a custom drive line????(really don't know what pumpkin is under a V6) Other than that just some slightly stiffer springs an bilstein shocks/struts.
My personal opinion would be to save ~ $1500-2000 for a full coil-over setup so you can adjust it. If that's a little out of reach, just get some camber-caster plates, front and rear tower braces, sub-frame connectors, then select the stiffness of spring and shock/strut you want and live with it.
All I have herd from most people about side exhaust on cobra's is that it will scrape on speed bumps at pretty much anything below stock ride height. The 2000 Cobra R was only 1/2" lower than a normal 99 Cobra. It's probably because of the scraping issues.
