Scored a set of Cobra R's

nick6690 · Apr 4, 2010

I got a set of Cobra R's today from a guy off craigslist for $280 with Pirelli tires. I know they're nothing special but I think my car looks a lot better with these than pony's and plus I got these for an awesome deal.

looks good. now lower the damn thing!

nick6690 · Apr 4, 2010

yea that was my first thought. the car looked a lot lower with the ponys but it sits up higher now with the bigger wheels.

looks good man. how much for the ponys if your willing to sell

looks good

That's an insane deal. You could sell the Ponys for 300 around here.

The lower profile tires also add to it. Same thing happend when I went from 16's with 55 series tires to 17's with 45 series tires.

Beat me to it, even if its just the front.

It's already been lowered a little but I dont know what springs are on it so i wouldnt know which ones to get. I might just cut them lol.

it will ride like a tractor.

i have eibach prokit springs and they dropped the car a pretty good amount. they were $200+ a rebate of $20...but eibachs site wasnt working and i couldnt fill out the form, its a conspiracy

i agree with tanner on cutting them will ride like crap

does your car sit level or is the front lower?
can you post some pics? thanks

Mr. Rustypwnz · Apr 6, 2010

it wont ride bad at all with 1 coil cut off, thats what i usually do, i had 1050lb springs in my 98 and 500lb in the rear, that setup would handle like a boss, but it rode harder than a skateboard, now i have 01 gt springs, cut 1 coil, with no iso's and its lower and will actually grab traction..

nick6690 · Apr 6, 2010

I wish I knew what springs I have. Theyr'e stiff as F*** and im afraid its gonna be worse if I cut them.

91foxbod50 · Apr 6, 2010

Usually a lot of folks cut aftermarket springs

Looks nice!

Just curious, how many cut springs have you driven on?

I cut one coil off all around on my last mustang, and drove it for almost a year. Rode like it did when it was stock height.
