I installed a set of rear Bilstein shocks about a week ago and I cannot believe the difference!!!! I feel like 90% of my hop is gone. It was raining out yesterday and instead of the rear end loudly bouncing off the wet pavement it just spun. I have done a few good hard launches and I get a nice smooth takeoff instead of that horrible loud thumping that I would get before. I was going to get an IRS brace but decided to go with shocks. I installed them in about an hour and a half. VERY EASY INSTALL. And they cost me $180 from stangsuspension.com
For 99 and 01 snakes these are a definate must have. I am shocked at how huge of a difference they made. Ride quality is great, if anything it feels better, more solid around town.

Get the BRACE !! They are on the 03-04 Cobras for a reason..........

I got mine of a 03 cobra at the dealer, like $90 out the door.
Then I ordered the poly bushings from MM.

Thanks for the info on the shocks, that next on my list...........
