Ok guys and gals, if you don't already know this winter I installed an IRS out of a 04 Cobra into my 96 Cobra. I currently have stock springs cut 3/4 coil with factory low mileage bilsteins in it. I wasn't too happy about the cut stock springs as far as ride height goes but I only paid $20 for them and it was well worth it being able to move the car around the shop at least. I have been debating whether to find some stock springs or if I should just throw out the big $ and get some MM rear IRS coilovers?

I know how nice the MM coilovers are, and how much better coilovers ride in general on SRA cars, but is it really worth it to spend that kind of money on coilovers for the IRS which already rides very well???

Here's more information about the car if it helps.

For the sake of consistency I find it kind of dull to have CO's only on the front. A CO will out perform most traditional springs period the end. I would suggest continuing with the coil over route and you'll find its worth it.

Youll be happy to hear MM sells a coil over kit that works with the stock Bilstein shocks.
