Help on Cobra IRS conversion

VIRstang · Jan 2, 2008

VIRstang,
I have a set of stock rear IRS springs left over from my conversion. I swapped out the stock GT components for H&R and Bilsteins. Will you be retaining the front end setup? The Cobra rear will be much stiffer.

secondchance,
I have Steeda springs and adjustable KYB shocks on the front and rear right now, so I'm probably going to want to upgrade the rear springs as well.

BennyBlown2v,
Do you or anyone else know if my new rear shocks will work with the IRS set-up?

Thanks guys for the help!!!
Ben

VIRstang,
The stock Cobra rear springs will put ther rear of your car at the stock ride height and will probably look pretty strange with your Steeda/KYB front end. I have the stock Cobra springs and lower isolators. PM me if you're interested.

Well the Cobra IRS is in!

As stated above I had to get new shocks, new springs, new drive shaft yoke, and new cat back exhaust. I was putting side exhaust in anyway. In order to put the side exhaust in I needed a muffler that had the inlet and outlet on the same end. We tried a flowmaster, but it was two large. Plus it was a 3 chamber which would be quieter than the two chamber on it. I ended up ordering spin tech mufflers from California. We are still waiting on them. I can't wait until they arrive! I want to drive the car!!
Thanks for all the advice!

Hey guys,
Do any of you know what differences there are between a Tbird Supercoupe & a Cobra IRS? I have a supercoupe rearend that I would like to stick in my 99 GT if it will work. Thanks... Larry
