Thought I'd start this thread to document some of the work we are doing on a local guy's '95 Cobra. The car is currently set up for street/autox with coilovers & a few other basic suspension mods.
Watts link was supposed to be installed last Satuday, but we ran into a snag when the brake brackets on the new axle did not fit the calipers/rotors we had. The axle is a built 8.8 with 9" "big bearing" ends. This gives us a lot of flexibility when it comes to brake setups, since we can just laser cut whatever brackets we need for brakes and quickly swap them without pulling out the axles.
Tomorrow we will be installing the Watts link, with the goal of running the car in the autocross this Sunday at the Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords event at Sac Raceway.
The plan within the next couple weeks to to pick up some 18" wheels and run 14" brakes on the front with S197 calipers (a la "working mans brake kit") and moving the 13" cobra fronts to the rear. We should have some awesome stopping power at that point, I'm exciting to do a comparison between the two setups.
