2001 Cobra needing new front and rear shockers can someone please advise where t

<< < (2/2)

Giffo:
Jeff, I put Bilsteins (rear) on mine when I lowered it and put on 18" rims. Mine is a bit hard too. Lowered 30mm King springs all round. Great around bends. Hugs well. But feels every pot hole or ruts. Tyres are 35's on the rear too!!

Bilsteins are blue and yellow - I have them on my car, they were factory fitted in 2003/2004 to Cobra's in the US and not on the Australian cars.
If you have blue/yellow Bilsteins and want to try original shocks, I think I have my old shocks (the rears at least) that you can try to see if that softens the ride.
Has your car been lowered? If so, then that will probably define why its harsh as there is little travel left to soak up the bumps.

I added a set of Brembo's on the front from a 2000 Cobra R along with Cobra-R 18' wheels for a bit of extra stopping power.
Added King Springs long ago, and Bilstein's all round - can't say it was an improvement, but it's consistent...
