Softer springs or not, that is the question

[Desert Cobra]

I dropped 100 lbs. front and rear and will never go back. No change in handling. Got from Summit Racing made by Eibach. Most springs come with a painted on spring rate. Usually as part of part number (ie B2000-350). I tried a 50 lbs. under but that wasn't enough. You can also adjust some shocks for less compression. Visit their web site for how. I have stock and 50 lbs springs for sale if interested. With softer springs you get more body roll in corners, but full travel on most Cobras is 4-5 inches so is 1/2 inch more roll going to kill you?

Oh heck, just soften it up until it feels like you're riding on a cloud and don't worry about a little body roll or understeer

Thats an odd car? Right hand steer, yet it has a USA plate, maybe California?

That boy makes a good case for a big-a$$ sway bar.

If you're gonna go softer springs on a street car, make sure you also go with sway bars, front and rear.
