I am going to buy a set of 03' Cobra Rims. Which springs should I get? I am hoping to do this cheapest as possible for now. I plan on coilover later. I just dont want to look like a 4X4.

Dustin

PS also which rims with look better on a 2003 true blue GT, chome 03 cobra rims or machined 03 cobra rims.

Get the chrome 03 cobra rims and just some Ford "C" Springs if its temporary since you plan on getting a coilover setup in a bit

A whole lot of saved bandwidth, cheaper for the owners, easiers to search for answers, all related questions on the subject would be in one thread insted of being scattered in hundreds


between the 'which spring should i get' question and the 'how much hp am i making now' threads it gets pathetic. almost as bad as the 'what gear' threads, when the same crap gets posted every damn week it's stupid and belittles the people that were here answering the question the first hundred times, using the damn SEARCH is NOT hard, if you nothing comes up, change some words around or lessen your search words. ATLEAST some people TRY to use the search, it should be a no brainer, then again some people just don't have the smarts for it

I don't know why I bother

cut you springs if you are serious about going coilover.

I am not a fan of this normally but why waste money you could put towards the coilovers.

now if the coilovers are more of wish than a reality just get some H&R's and call it good.

Ford C springs would be the way to go. Fairly cheap and no more 4x4 look. Also get the chrome cobra rims. Chrome looks so good on true Blue

I would get the 18" chrome 03 cobra rims, afs makes a nice set, I had them with the 10.5" rear rims. I agree the chrome would look great with your blue! Nice avatar, by the way

I think the machined 03 Cobra wheels will look the best.Also I wouldn't go
cheap on springs.Personaly I would consider the H&R Sport springs
they are of great quality.Use the search function it is your friend.

C-Springs. not too low to where you have to worry about bad engineering in and out of parking lots, but lower to give you a much nicer looking stance than stock

Why don't you search and find out, or better yet keep whine-posting
