Ive started to shop around for some Struts and shocks for the Cobra. Im thinking about Monroe Sense-a-tracks, but I was wanting some suggestions on the handling and performance of certain brands

 

Never heard of them and when I searched pretty much all of them came up with 4x4 forums.

I would go with some Bilsteins or Tokicos.

 

Well, sens-a-tracks are what we sell at Advance. Ive been looking at Tokicos, adjustables are probably too expensive though

 

Unless the Monroes are equal to the Bilsteins you are downgrading according to them. Bilsteins are around $400 for the pair from this company.

 

Your going the wrong way with Monroe. Stick with the Bilsteins.

 

probably go with those then. Not sure when Im gunna do them though

 

#1

look for the kit, has a lifetime warranty

 

Its also 600 bucks lol

 

You work tomorrow?

 

The price you have to pay for performance products for your performance car.

 

Im off tomorrow

 

that is 150.00 per wheel,

do you want it to ride like a v6, or like a cobra?

 

like a Cobra. thats why its got the little snakes on the side of the car!

 

Uh, putting the Monrio Sens-A-Trac on there is like swapping out the engine for a 6-banger.

Bilstein.
Period.

 

what i said

 

k jeez lol

 

I had the Tokicos on my '02 GT and it handled like it was on rails.

 

It really depends on what he wants to use the car for. I use the factory Bilstein on my cobra, but on my wife's GT, I use the Monroe. She wants a nice smooth ride. The GT is the best riding mustang we have. We took it to NC and cruised the trails, and I was very surprised at how well the car handled.

 

One thing that has not been mentioned (no reason to) is that the ride and handling is dependent upon the shock-strut/spring combo. FWIW, I have had the Tokico Illuminas paired up with the FMS "C" springs (and a lot of other stuff) and it is one of the best riding cars I have driven. And takes just a moment to change it with a small screwdriver.

I am thinking that the 02 GT has a different handling package than the Cobra of this thread.

 

Just the IRS is different. I had no problem hanging with Cobras on twisty roads with my set-up. I had H&R Supersports springs, 17X9 wheels in front with 265/40 tires and 18X10 rear wheels with 285/40 tires.
