    Suspension parts going in ..... what else

    I hope that is not the case with mine ...... although I did buy it used. I will know soon enough. The Kenny Brown stuff goes in tomorrow. While it is up, I will check out the rear swaybar and try to get a pic of the springs.

    As a matter of fact ...... not exactly, but close. What causes that?

    Suspension parts going in ..... what else

    I purchased the Kenny Brown stuff about 20 months ago for the 95, but never got around to installing it. Are you saying you would not use it and just put in the full length subframe connectors? I probably misread somewhere but I thought that just one end of the UCAs needed to have flex, so I...

    Suspension parts going in ..... what else

    I have a stock 96 Cobra. The car handles like crap. My ex 95 Cobra could take a certain set of curves near the house at 60 and feel rock solid whereas the 96 feels like the rear end wants to find the ditch at 45. I am using the sale of the 95 and the poor handling as an excuse to upgrade. This...

    Help me decide quick-Keep 99 cobra, or trade in for 2004 cobra?

    This is a perfect compromise. And, if you find you can't swing it, you have lost nothing but managed to pay down some of your debt.

    window sticker

    That will not work as the car is too old ( I tried to get one for my Mystic ). The guy was really nice. If you are interested in a reproduction, PM me and I will get you in touch with the guy that did my 95.

    Changing the oil

    I bought my 95 and 96 used. The first time I changed the oil on both of them it was rough getting the filter and drain plug loose. They must have had some gorilla at a quick change place do it. Now the filter comes off barehanded and the plug is just snug. Good luck!

    I HATE EBAY BID SNIPERS!!!!!! (even though i do it too)

    I always wait until 20 seconds before the bid closes and bid my max. It will only go as high as needed to beat the other bidders or they outbid your max. You can say you won by $.01, but you can never say you lost by $XX because you do not know what the other bidders max was.

    extended warranty

    whether or not you plan on modding and what you plan on modding should play into this decision IMO. I would never get the manual, but that is personal preference.

    Cleaning & Polishing favorite products?

    I like the Zaino products, but from what I have seen, It is far more important that you prep properly and apply regularly. I was also under the impression that because the car is new, the paint is baked on and already cured. If that is the case, claybar immediately and get it protected...

    Valve cover plaque

    You are looking for a sticker, not a plaque. The plaques started in 98. I have not been able to find one. Performance Parts Inc. used to carry them, but they have sold out and when I called, I was told that they do not know if/when they will get any in and to keep checking back. They do have the...

    Looking for a better product...

    If you want to keep it that way, you should wash the car with a detergent that will remove oils and grease. You should then Claybar the car. When the car is being transported, all sorts of nasty stuff gets on it ..... most of it too small to see, but it starts working on your paint. After a full...

    recommended tires

    I run BFG Gforce TA KDWS on both the 95 and 96 Cobras and like the way they handle. The 05 GT is still running the stock pirellis.
