The R-Spec is very specifically designed for one application;“OEM 2000 Cobra R Bilsteins were designed by Ford to control the linear rate springs that came on the limited production "R model". The spindle mounting holes of these struts were relocated for additional negative camber. While they were known as the hot upgrade for IRS equipped Cobras for many years, when Maximum Motorsports began extensive testing of IRS-equipped Mustangs, we soon found the shortcomings of the 2000 Cobra R dampers. Ford used unusually soft compression valving in the front struts in an apparent attempt to reduce understeer. For this reason, the front struts are not a good foundation for coil-over conversions, but they do work well with stock location springs that have rates in the neighborhood of 800 lb/in. ”You would be better served with the HD version.</blockquote>
