you ask for a option so i gave you one

ask trevcos as he going ggr i believe as for ahmeds most do go with them

lockie, if your after looks, go for the Cobra, if you want handling, maybe the Ahmeds.

However IMO on standard shocks, the difference would not even be noticeable, there fore i would buy the Cobras on the fact it'll sit better.

And i have had both, fitted, on the road. So i know what i'm on about

Andy does fitting Cobra springs to standard shocks, and fitting the same spring to Koni shock make a difference

I love the look of the cobras fitted but I was scared they might be too low

Now that I'm getting Konis is using the cobra springs the best option, it's just looks I'm after not driveability

PS apologies lockie I don't mean yo hijack your thread, I was just curious

Ian, konis will rebound different to o/e damper i'd of thought.

however, i had cobras and konis and it sat absolutely perfect, handled spot on, the only reason i ever changed to ahmeds was because i fitted a 6 degree beam and adjustable tca's so wanted the handling improvement that the ahmeds gave me

Thanks for that Andy I appreciate it
Gonna keep my cobra spring, so I'll have them and Ahmeds

Question is though which ones do I try first
At least I have all winter to decide

I've never modified a car before Ever, and already I hate it ha ha ha
