Default You would have to pull apart the front end of the car

lloyds1 Dave if you are serious about racing the cobra you need to take a hard look at the Morris photos and CSX3710# if he has many. 18-19" wheels, need A-Arms, Whole new wheels with different back spacings. Strong knuckles, and the list goes on for parts, after that it starts with bumpster, camber, caster toe, and thrust angle of the car.

You can put any shock on any car if you have the right clearance and measurements. You might want to start with a set of QA1 shocks with double adjustment. there are 256 settings to start with. They are alot cheaper also.
The high the "G" forces you try to pull the more support of the frame is going to be needed to stop twisting. It is real easy to add about 600 pounds for the high speed you may be looking for. A complete belly pan for the botoom of the car to start. Front spoiler and rear wing with a full roll cage welded into the car. Small windshield. Now you have a track car. Rick L.
