Bullitt Springs in '99 Cobra??
I performed a search and found several people who swapped the Bullitt springs on thier GT's with good results. However, I have a '99 Cobra which I want to get rid of 4x4 look. I don't want to slam it (3/4" lower will do the trick) and I don't necessarily want to get c/c plates, bushings etc. - a simple spring and shock/strut (if necessary) is all I want to do.
Anyone perform this swap? I want to then run w/18" x 9" wheels. I'd like stock-like ride quality without any messing up of the stock suspension geometry. Thanks for comments.

Okay, IRS specific rate springs. Steeda? HR? What are my options? How much will they lower the car? Will I need anything else, such as c/c plates, etc? Ride quality? Thanks for your input.

Every reputible spring company makes 99-03 cobra springs. They will drop your car 1-2 inches depending on what springs you get.
As long as dont go over a 2 inch drop the springs will be all you need. I have looked them for my 01' cobra and they run from 250-400 bux depending on brand. The cobra has an IRS rear so the springs are not interchangeable with GT/bullit's
