I have been looking at what people have but most have different opinions about every spring. I just need a spring that rides good on the street. I have a 99 cobra vert. and its not a racer or anything just want it to have good street manners. I was leaning toward maximum motorsports springs but now i read some good things about kenny browns. But kenny browns web site is down now so where else can i look for these springs? Not sure if it make a diiference but i am going to put on 18" fr500 deep dish wheels also. Anyone with pictures and springs would be great. Thanks.

I needed struts/shocks at the same time so I put in the Bilstein BTS kit. Happy so far. Still good ride quality. Lowered it about an inch, maybe a little more. Handling is much better than stock.

I have Kenny Browns on my 99 Cobra vert. I love them. But I also have everything else KB makes (caster plates, front and rear strut tower braces, sub frames, extreme matrix brace, torque brace, aluminum diff. bushings and jacking rails). Good luck finding anything, KB is no longer producing parts. So all you will find is used stuff or the occasional new one on Ebay. But be careful I've heard there are some counterfeit KB stuff out there. My car is a 99 Cobra vert with KB springs and 18" FR500's, so just look at how mine looks and you should get a pretty good idea.

Here is my brothers 99 Cobra vert with the Eibach Pro-Kit springs with 17" 03 Cobra wheels. They lowered the car about 1.25" and it rides just lightly stiffer than stock, but handles much better.

I have the Eibach Pro kit on my 01 vert. It sits pretty low, have to be careful on dips, ruts and speed bumps. Ride is good, I have 03 Cobra Bilsteins too. Lowered the car 1.5" from stock.

99 cobra convertible

I just purchased a set of Eibach pro kit springs and tokico adjustible shocks and struts along with my steeda camber caster plates I think it should be a decent handling ride. Also people lets not forget handling is great but brakes is what counts the most. i recommend SSBC Brake kit

I have H&Rs on my cobra and Eibach on my GT. So its hard to tell, IRS vs SRA and all. Both of them ride just fine even on some really messed up roads.

you have the exact same set up I have on my 99 vert. How do you like yours? I have my tokico's set on hard in the rear and medium in front. Mine handles like it's on rails.
