I'd go with the Cobra IRS and a strut front end with discs if your budget allows it. kennyg

Thats a great idea but either one has to be around $1000. If i could get a wrecked cobra then definantly. I love the IRS on my 04 Cobra.

id do the brakes first, despite how much i love suspension work

the cobra brakes on my bullitt have saved my sorry butt too many times for me to not appreciate the benefit they provide over most everything else ive driven

you can do a front disc brake swap for about 750.00 for all new parts

chockostang sells everything for the conversion to the stock 4 piston calipers

or you can get some superior stopping power

would need larger than 14" wheels though

Im hoping not to have to get new wheels, ive got 14x7 rims with 4.5" bolt spacing. Not entirly sure on the backspacing though. I know that the biggest i can get is with 11.25" rotors so thats what im trying to find. Ill check out chokostang, sounds like a good deal
