I want that Cobra R front bumper, but I want to drop the stang too... and I am afraid the two might not mix.

Right now I have 18x9.5 Cobra R's on 275x35x18 and as you can imagine, I am sporting the 4x4 tonka truck look.

I love the drop of H&R super sports, but fear this will be incredibly low for a Cobra R front bumper.

Can anyone offer some insight?

Don't do it man... The R splitter is too much for the street.

Actually I think I have been swayed. I saw some pics of people on here with the 03/04 cobra bumper and the S281 saleen wing. WOW!! And with that config I definately could do the H&R springs!

From everything I've read, your on the money Kilgore, it's just to much of a hassle for the street.

I'd do the 03/04 Cobra combo unless you do alot of Snow Plowing then the R is fine.

the R bumper looks like crap and is WAY too low for normal driving. any other bumper would be a better choice
