    On the rear arms, M&Ms are used a lot. Most people simply buy a set of lowering springs and not the adjustables. The H&R sport springs and a nice upgrade and lower the car some. I think Chalky has a pan hard, maybe Doug too.

    Well it's on. Got a complete Cobra IRS since my rear end was in need of a total reedo.
    I would like to retain the SVO rear brakes since they are shiny new, but everything I read says no way.
    So I will have to see for myself as I'm a fabricating fool I may make it work.
    So chime in if you have real experience with this swap.

    Stick with the cobra rear calipers, just upgrade the soft lines.
    There's nothing more to see here, now move along...

    The cobra rotors are just over 11". If you're concerned about bias, just add an adjustable valve in place.
