2/20/9
OK well guys im back at it we are going to show u the intalls of the H&R springs as well as the MM Caster Camber Plates and the 4 new tires that went on the car.
First off a couple of pics of the car at daves shop and the parts that are going to go on the car.




OK HERE IS THE PICTURES OF THE SPRINGS AND CASTER CAMBER PLATES.

THE H&R RACE SPRINGS


THE MM CASTER CAMBER PLATES. EVERYTHING LAID OUT AND READY

ALL THE NUTS AND BOLTS THAT COME WITH THE KIT.

ALL THE STOCK STUFF OUT AND READY FOR THE NEW STUFF TO GO IN.


BOTH FRONT SPRINGS IN


THIS IS THE REAR SPRINGS BACK IN.



I WILL HAVE PICS OF THE CASTER CAMBER PLATES AND THE MM FLSC AFTER WE DO THE INTALL OF THEM PLUS THE ALIGNMENT AS WELL AS THE 4 NEW NITTO TIRES.

Everything looks great Jose, nice and clean.

I meant to ask you last night, how is the ride with the lowering springs? It's something I would consider at some point but I'm not interested in making the ride insanely stiff or anything like that.

I kinda thought "User Project Cars" was pretty clear, but hey, you're a Ford owner. :smack: Just kidding. Great thread!


BTW, why don't you add your Cobra to your garage? Here's how.

Then it will be searchable under Member Rides, like my totally awesome Vette.

Thanks guys and ill try and do that vettezuki

What's left to be done on this round of mods?

:beer:

Well the Tires i put them on sat. u saw them at Nick's I dint put any pics cause i still have to do the alignment and the MM Full Length Subframe Connectors. Hopefully tonight and after that im done. In a few months with some cash in hand i will get the whole bushing kit for everything. I dont like using credit cars so everything i buy is payed with cash in hand or in the checking accout. lol As far as power i think i might do the 2# lower pulley as well as a small shot of the Sauce like 50 shot is what im thinking.

Thanks, and right back at u man. :drink:

Will a 2# lower overspin the blower with a 2.76 upper, or will you still see gains?

With a 2.73 up top they say to go #2 lower if u have like a 2.93 and i think also if u have the 2.8 then u need to go with the #4 lower.
