Thanks DV: For the 2 cents,

I am running stock springs in rear, I have no clue what they are rated at.

I was running stock in front, on the test rides it was not real bad, but the tires I had on the car were most likely 20 years old, aired up rock hard so some of the roughness I am sure was coming from the tires. I got those qa1's with 375's from Kenton for the front. My regular tires are 16's and might change the ride significantly.

I did a little research and looks like on model A fords, which I think are about the same weight as the cobra on the fronts they are running about 250 coil overs. We might have a little more weight on the front of these cobras than on a model A.

Unless, I find some real definitive answers I will start with the 375's I have and see how it rides and handles, I can always replace them easy enough.

The country roads coming to my house for the last two miles are about as rough as an old missouri washboard dirt road so I feel things rather quickly.

Thanks again, now I gotta go get some work done, and hope for progress forward instead of all this tear apart.
