Just had the Cobra out for the first time in at least a year.
What a cool car to drive. Short ride but made me remember
good it feels to drive it around. I was just making sure it ran
ok before taking it in for a manifold and ignition system so it's
running right before I try to sell it. After the drive hope it takes
a while to sell.
I also need to put new shoes on her and I some questions.
My car was built in 1995 and came with 235/60 fronts and
255/60 rears 427SC body. I see were a lot of you are running
245/60 front 275/60 rear. I have always had a rub on the
right rear inner wheel well with a passenger when the right
rear is loaded. Were there changes made the the inner fenders
to allow the 275 & 295 to be used?
I like the look of the Mickey Thompson Sportsman S/R Radial
8" fronts and 10" rears.

stiffer double coilovers on each rear corner worked for me.

Carerra shocks on the rear. Aaln or Maurice would have the specifics of what they use now as I built mine in 2000-2001

On the rear I have 4 carerra Coilovers. Springs are 300# 10"s long

Hope this helps

Spent about 4 hours under the car inspecting it and both rears have been rubbing.
With the adjustable coil overs what sixe rears would I be able to use?
