Planning new suspension

[LAFENATU]

:evil5:

This is what I have:

- PBR Dual Piston Brake Upgrade
- Ford Racing Strut Tower Brace
- 03/04 Cobra Front Control Arms
- Maximum Motorsports K-Member Brace
- Ford Racing Upper Control Arms
- Ford Racing Lower Control Arms
- 96-98 Cobra Rear Sway Bar

What I need:

- Subframes
- Springs
- Shocks/Struts

Here is what I have as an idea, give me your thoughts and this is virtually a daily driven car btw.

- MM Subframes
- Eibach Pro-Kit Springs
- Tokico HP SN95 Shocks
- Tokico HP Fox Struts

:dontknow:

Sounds like you got it figured out.

Pretty good setup for a daily driven car. Go with SN95 length struts, there is no reason to go otherwise.

 

[LAFENATU]

Absolutely there is a reason to use fox struts.

Fox struts are shorter so it helps increase bump travel and decrease droop on lowered SN95's per Maximum Motorsports.

 

[ReplicaR]

You're not going low enough to really utilize the shorter shock. But, it's your car, so you can get whatever you want.

i would go with sportlines instead of Pro Kit.

never rode with eibachs, but I just got my h&r's on and they are AMAZING

ReplicaR..

I got the info from Maximum Motorsports.

They could always be wrong. :dontknow:

The only reason I was thinking Pro-kit over sportline and H&R because I race my car straightline. The lower the car, the slower 1/4 times.

I would say Bilsteins over Tokicos. I have prokits with bilsteins (SN95 length) and the ride is pretty damn nice and its not too low that I have to crawl over speedbumps, but its low enough to be noticable and get rid of the 4x4 look. Perfect for a daily driver IMO.

Did you buy new bilsteins or buy 03/04 cobra bilsteins?

Did you buy new bilsteins or buy 03/04 cobra bilsteins?

I bought 03/04 cobra fronts (Paid $150 for both with like 10k on them) and I bought brand new rears from TireRack for $98 each.

I'm pretty happy with the setup. It's not too soft and mushy like stock, but it not too stiff where it rattles fillings. Night and day difference over stock.

I'd also suggest the MM Steering Rack Bushings if you don't have them already.

I'm gonna look and see if I can find them to get an idea on price.
