here she is only 72k miles on her, you still think she shines? I only have used Zaino on her. She is a 98 cobra, and sits in her own stall.

it is called factory, I will not drop her cause she bottoms out sometimes at work with the speed bumps no reason to ruin it with lowering kit.

Shes clean bro!!! I have a Canary yellow 95 Gt, but i would love to have a Chrome yellow 98 Cobra...My favorite color for the 94-98 Cobra bodystyles (although it was only offered in 98) besides Rio Red.

looks really nice man, hopefully she brings u good memories, but may i suggest, just lowering it a bit, i know u said it would bottom out, but just replace the springs, shocks and struts ( all new ones) and trust me, you'll be fine, just take it easy on bumps thats all.

Yeah at least a steeda sport kit or Eibach pro kit with some good struts...Both my stangs are lowered at least 1.8 & as long as Im careful, I rarely ever bottom out....

replace all that huh, how much we talking about with install? about 4k? a bit hard supporting a family and dumping a ton of money in the car when I could have gone to buy my kids something they needed, stuff gets done just takes time.

Looks clean bro!

Don't listen to these fools....you don't NEED new suspension and your family is more important

Mods will come in time, I'm sure

try this...
you also get a 5% discount for being a Stangnet member

couldn't help you as far as the install though, $300-500 maybe

lowers the car about 1" on SN95's which would be a moderate drop and would have the same if not better (car has 9yr old shocks/struts after all) ride. worn shocks might be why you're bottoming out

Well that would be nice if I knew anyone out here, moved here 3 years ago and only take my 2 suvs and cobra to one shop that I can trust out here, I looked at the steeda stuff but really do not know which ones would be good for my cobra without getitng more parts than just the shocks, springs and struts to fit on the cobra.

Agreed Nothing against anybody wanting to lower there mustang but for me the factory look is ok and I still think lowering springs hurt you at the track..

For me straight line performance is more important than looks.

well I never have had her at the track it is just a fun car to drive well sometimes I get to smoke a ricer but I do not have her out to often, hard to fit family of 4 in a cobra for a fun ride better to take the suv.

that is very nice stang look great lowered makes a huge difference, I also like the rims they are cool and the black really adds to make the yellow shine.
