MM Coilovers on 01 Cobra -- First Impressions
WOW!!!!!
The car feels neutral and balanced.
Body roll is non existant.
Nose dive during heavy braking is minimal.
The car now transitions smoothly and in a controlled manner. (that bizarre feeling of being lurched off the springs after you are through the turn is gone)
The rear end side to side bobble as you come out of a hard turn is gone. It immediately returns to the flat and level as you return to neutral lateral g's.
Wheel hop appears to be gone -- I'll test this the next time I drive it in the rain to see just how 'gone' it is. (4.10 gears may change this as well)
Heavy trail braking now seems possible as the weight transfer to the front outside tire is greatly decreased.
Quite simply, I'm AMAZED!!!!!
I've only got one problem... I've got the in and now have to go out of town for a week.....
