What Suspension?

1fstcobra · December 11th, 2007, 02:55 AM

I have a 03 cobra convertible and want to redo the suspension for road courses. what do you guys suggest, i have been looking at packages, steeda has some competition handling packages as well as one on lethal performance. are the packages crap? what should i buy, money is not an issue i just want the best.

I'd look at either Maximum Motorsports or Griggs. If you've got the money, Agent47 makes some cool stuff, too, particularly their double a-arm front suspension (replaces your k-member).

Being that you have a convertible, the first thing that I suggest is that you do everything you can to stiffen up your frame: full-length subframe connectors, k-member brace (if you don't already have one), strut-tower brace, the works.

arent they bilstein?

Have you taken it on a road course yet? like sweet said you already have bilsteins. I would think a k member and a set of nt-01's would make it handle everything you could throw at it. Now if you want to seriously race it, then you might want to start upgrading the suspension. But the cobra can thrash pretty well on the twisties in stock form. Thats what it was built for.

+1 on these manufacturers. You can't go wrong with Maximum or Griggs. Both of these guys sell handling packages that have been already sorted out for you. They are pricey, but the best. Personally, I like to mix & match as I go...and research each mod individually and then proceed to the next mod. It's easier on the budget and I educate myself on each componet as I go. But, if money is no object, then go for a package. Oh, and don't forget about a very nice brake package as well.
