I have a 20 year old KCC Cobra and the frame looks great with +-55000 miles. I still am using the original Shocks,all the way around.
Actually on the chassis and its components ,I have never had to replace a thing.
When I constructed the car I used all Jaguar Series 1 suspension ,back and front. I replaced every, ball joint,universal joint and bushing with original Jaguar parts.All the pieces were powder coated black, and all the suspension bolts where Cadmium plated.
The car drives so smooth and feels like a factory car.
One thing with Cobras,,One has to get used to letting the steering wheel "Dance" in your hands,by holding the wheel lightly and not hold on like no end.
