I have a 98 cobra convertible with eibach pro kit and stock shocks and struts, my problem is when I hit bumps or especially when I go over bridges the car bounces me around, on smooth roads its fine, I am wanting to upgrade shocks & struts, not sure if I want bilstein or an adjustable, I really am looking mainly for better ride quality and time to time drag strip.

When you say "throws you around" what exactly does that mean? I have H&R Supersports with Bilsteins. They are a very good shock/strut. It's my springs that are a bit rough on rough roads but my Bilsteins are great. Do you have Subframes too? My vert used to roll bad before I put in my subs. My springs are VERY stiff but the Bilsteins help a lot. That's my very one sided opinion.

I mean that you get bounced up and down in the seat when your on the concrete bridges, thinking my rear shocks are gone, the pro-kit thats on my vert is for a coupe so the rear is a little lower than the front, anyone know the difference in the pro-kit springs for a vert and coupe, thinking maybe I would only have to change out the rear springs to the vert ones

maybe someone with the right eibach pro kit on their convertible could look on their front springs and get me the number off of it so I can check it against mine thanks
