WTF!!! Cobra R's on a T/A??

o well to each his own...but to answer your question....i would just get smaller drop springs. I have a 1.25 drop and the tires scrape on some bumps

With that much of a drop it'd be smart to get an Adj. PHB and reloc. brackets.

Good luck

i have sportlines on my 95 ta with 18's....rides fine. Cant even tell its dropped. Be sure you have good shocks and youll be straight. Just watch the speedbumps.

speedbumps! arch enemy of the eibach sportlines! i quite driving mine on base cause i was sick of dragging the plastic temporary speedbumps they have.. im ditching my sportlines to get some hotchkis 1" lowering springs soon...

also, mine are so damn bouncy.. i have read a couple of places that the sportlines are actually more bouncy than the pro-kit... any truth to that?

when it all boils down to it tho, i absolutely love the way my car looks with those springs..

the bouncy ride is because of shocks....get a good new set and it will ride like a dream. I think mine actually rides better than stock with no bouncing and one heck of a better back road handling

I have sportlines, and my car is bouncy. I need some new shocks bad. I am 100% positive that the car will be MUCH better with new shocks. After the spring install, I have had so many compliments on the car. It looks so mean with my 17x9.5" fittipaldi's. I also upgraded to an adjustable panhard bar, control arms, and relocation brackets. Personally, I wouldnt lower an f-body without doing the other mods along with it. Traction was so poor before the control arms and brackets that I could spin tires, and hardly leave any rubber. There was just no weight transfer to the rear suspension. So save your pennies, buy it all at once, and enjoy
