Tony, I used upper arms from Ford Motorsports (Same as Ford Mustang Police cars used) and Saleen Tube lowers. 7/8" Sway bar. I think any of the tubing arms would work well, but I would like to try a set of adjustable uppers to change pinion angle. Glad you are working/thinking about your Cobra.

Thanks Kountze
Has anyone changed out there stock mustang parts to Steada upper and lower ?Was it worth the $$$$s could you tell the difference in the ride, stance ,and handling Steeda does make allot of sense of there technology but never mention a coil over shock vs. coil springs Changing the ride height does or not change the pinion angle. Which could be readjusted with a adjustable upper control arm ?
