Default your upgrade to coil overs and a-arms

MaSnake:

by reading your previous post you indicate a lower A-arm being level, this is good generally, you also mention A-arm, this would indicat they did not use the stock stock mustang lowr arm with the trailing rod back to the frame.

If indeed you already have upper and lower mustang II A arms by simply converting to tublar arms and coil overs may not get you the desired result. yes the coil over can raise your ride height but it will also stiffen up the ride (I think). and it will not leave the lower arm horziontal to the ground. you may find you need to change out the spindles and get a raised spindle, this will raise the overall height of the entire car and give you more travel.

I am sure you will figure it out. If indeed you do not have a need for those used parts from your car I surely could use them for my 1991 CR. especially if you have a lower A-arm and not the single arm with trailing rod back to frame.

I have limited experience on Cobras but have done many street rod upgrades with stang II parts.

Take care Ray
