Well not when the springs are stock no but if ur shocks are bad and springs are then yes. If u lower it without proper suspension supports then yesDon’t they do that anyway
Agreed I never stated just boom install it and its gd there is some work into itHere are pics of my 03 Cobra with MM coilovers, moderate lowering, & MM taper style bumpsteer kit. The angles of the control arms & tie rods of my Cobra don't look that much different than yours.
However, you cannot minimize bumpsteer by simply eye balling the control arm & tie rod angles & trying to match them up by adding bumpsteer shim stacks at tie rod ends.
You need to measure the amount of bumpsteer with a bumpsteer gauge at various points thru the range of your suspension movement to know how much bumpsteer you have & adjust it out with shims.
Offset rack bushings with a stock k-member quite possibly would increase bumpsteer. Offset rack bushings usually are appropriate to use with aftermarket k-members where the control arm attachment is raised above the stock location.

I included that information for the benefit of the original poster, since he may not be aware of the measurement aspect of adjusting for bumpsteer.
Agreed. I mean I appreciate it and I know others will.

your 03 cobra looks a lot like a fox body
Yes that is my 85 GT in the pics. I also bumpsteered my Cobra front & rear but don't have pics of that operation.your 03 cobra looks a lot like a fox body
The first 2 pics are the front end of my Cobra. The 3rd pic with bumpsteer gauge set up is my 85 GT.your 03 cobra looks a lot like a fox body

Yes it was definitely needed on mine. IRS can have unpredictable bumpsteer. My Cobra was already lowered when I got it, so I don't know what stock height was, but I estimate it is lowered approximately 1.5 ". I would not want to go any lower because I have to pull into or out of my driveway diagonally to avoid scraping.
What size wheels and tyres you running on your ride mate?
Trade plus cash ? Lol

Sounds like a good plan.
The instructions to the Maximum Motorsports taper style bumpsteer kit referenced above provide detailed instructions on how to adjust to minimize bumpsteer. You will need to purchase a bumpsteer gauge setup in order to measure bumpsteer. The Maximum Motorsports bumpsteer gauge is the most reasonably priced one of which I am aware. Here is a link to the bumpsteer instructions.
