The biggest problem you'll run into with "scrapping" with the H&R Supersports is the "x-brace" under the convertible models. Nothing on my car actually does scrape... except where the ProChamber meets the 3" catback on mine once in awhile. The front sits lower than the rear with the Supersport springs... but it depends on whether or not you use the poly spring isolators.

I used them on mine... and the front was dropped so much I had to do something about the alignment. I had the CC plates sitting around since actually before I bought my car so I went ahead and installed them after the springs went in

I've talked to a few people with verts that run the Eibachs and said they had no scrapping whatsoever. That might help persuade your decision.

InfamousSVT, I thought '03-'04's already had that IRS brace on there from the factory? Or is it something else I'm thinking of...I know the '99-'01's didn't have it, but I was thinking Ford put it on ours?

Lorahcobra, Yes you're right about the 03/04 Cobra's having the IRS brace for the "cross member"
The IRS brace from Billet Flow cover's the pumkin of the differential and makes it stronger therefore on hard launches and way when you dump the clutch at the dragstrip it won't tear apart! Below are some pictures of what the problem can be and what the Billet Flow IRS brace does to help prevent it!
