stock springs/ iso's pics

Post by cobrasnake93 »

post a couple! I am actually looking for a comparison between the stock springs/ iso's and stock springs and NEW iso's....

seems the factory stance may vary ever so slightly... even seen some with factory rake? higher in the back? what gives??

Are you looking for pics of the spring installed or pics of the springs outside of the car?

by sifting through all the pics on here, you cant tell who still has stock springs/ new iso's

Is there a measurement for a stock new tire to fender lip of ride height?

where are the snake techies on this?

did anyone just change the isolators out and get a raised stance out of it?

i think my car will have a slight factory rake stance, but maybe new iso's in front

would correct that? I'm not absolutely sure my front springs are stock either,

they sure seem a bit stiff?

I just recently put new Stock springs on my 93 Cobra with new Ford OEM isolators. The front actually sit a little higher than the back now. (Im gonna assume because the rears have about 90k miles on them) I dont have a picture yet, but once it warms up I can take one. The other issue though is that my car has Cobra R's so it might not look the same as one with a stock wheel.

we put new control arms on the back and discarded the lower iso's

car seems to have raised back up in the rear a bit haha. maybe will settle

fronts are all stock, so maybe a new set of upper and lower iso's for front

will even it out. i actually like the ones that sit higher stock.

the fender lip, open space, and tire sidewall look like a more cohesive look, to me..

seems like the back springs were designed to sit just right with..

the spare tire, jack, and full tank of gas combined weight on them

this sound correct?

mine is missing the tire, jack and only half a tank of fuel.

can anyone echo this statement?
