Just wanted ask everyon what type of springs i should go with and why. I own a 99 Roush Cobra and it's sittin way to high. Any suggestions will be appreciated. I'll try to get some pics taken asap.

Depends on how low you want to go. I have Eibachs on mine, H&Rs will go lower.

I always prefer the handling that Steeda offers.
I know from experience some of the Roush cars have problems with rubbing when lowered.

Eibach Pro Series on my '01 coupe. It came down about 1 1/2". Not slammed by any means but looks good. Ground clearance is OK for 90% of the speed bumps. Handles great. No tire rubbing problems at all.

I have Hypercoil springs in my 99 cobra, and they are unbelievable. I belive you can now get them from steeda, they are not sold as a kit, you must buy them individually, but they are willing to help you select the best rate for you. My car sits very low in the rear for that nice squated down look, with the front lowered about 1.5 inches at the most. I forget the rates I chose since it was a long time ago and the markings wore off. But these springs give you a way better ride than Eibach! I have had Eibach and I liked the way they performed but they just were awful when the road wasn't perfectly flat. I feel that the best springs you can buy are either Hypercoil, Steeda, or Kenny Brown.

I switched from H&R's to Eibach Pro-Kit on my '01. About 1/2" difference IMO (wish I took pictures - sorry). I had serious clearance problems with speedbumps etc. with the H&R's and the ride was a bit jittery for my taste. Pro-Kit offers a nice compromise between handling and ride quality.

i bought some Kenny brown springs and they lowered my car about as much as needed, lower than steeda's ever did, they are pretty expensive but where worth the cost in my opinion.
