Toperformance is pretty adament that 450 is way too stiff based on the dimensions and weights i gave him.
He is suggesting an eibach or kings sports single rate spring at about 375 to 400 lb, and rr at 450, which sounds similar too yours,

If i can ask so boldly, maybe i shouldn't, but whats your rear feel like........

Dave
I already told you I am a fat bastard so it is round.

Oh do you mean ride wise in the Cobra?
I think it is too soft, it moves up and down alot on undulating roads.
I do also have a failed rear shock so will be looking to replace (Spax) may look at EVO or Koni.
My springs are single rate kings, when I get home I will take a look at invoice as I really cant remember exact spring rates.

I would like lighter front springs in mine and heavier rears (rears only 25 lb heavier I think) and add a sway bar to the back.
