So, here's my dilemna. When I bought my Cobra the car was plagued with terrible ass sag and the front end looked as if the car was always doing a hard launch or I had a dead body or 2 in the trunk. This is a very common problem with the 99 and 01 Cobras...and GTs for that matter. So, being that I was new to the whole "performance" end of car mods, I ordered the only Eibach springs that were available for the Cobra...the ProKit. I ordered this kit without thinking about the ass end of the car already having Koni Adjustable Coilovers out back. The difference bewteen the ProKit and the Sportline kit (aside from the Sportline sitting much lower) was that the Sportline kit would not fit the Cobra...solely because the Cobra has an IRS.

So, what I need to know is:

1.) Can or should I have the front springs cut to get the front end even lower? (not going for the lowrider look here, I just want to make the car look and ride even more aggressive)
2.) How much should I cut if I want to drop another 3/4" - 1" or so?
3.) Who do you know that might be able to do this for me (I have lack of cutting tools and expertise on this matter)
4.) Would anybody be willing to trade their front Sportlines for my ProKit springs. (Do you think that your car is too low up front?)
5.) Is anybody looking to buy some BRAND NEW Eibach ProKit REAR springs? They have never been out of the box!

The ProKit is said to give you a 1.25" inch brop or so...

Here is how the car sits right now...


I have a little bit more room to lower the ass end via the Coilovers if need be.

And here is how the car sat before I threw the front springs on and adjusted the rear a bit...

you might try removing the spring isolators in the front if your looking for extra drop. im going to take my front bottoms out when i get a chance. some people say that taking the isolators out cause some extra road noise, some people say it doesent. if your concerned about noise then you could always cut like half a coil off the springs. good luck on getting the look you want and be sure to post more pics. its a nice lookin car.

I've decided to just do coilovers up front, since I already have them out back. I'd say that by the end of this weekend my car should pretty much, sit like this...



With the ride height level, of course. This pic was just a very quick Photoshop.
