Does anybody have any feedback about Cobra Springs? (the kind made in NZ)
I'm looking at buying some lowering springs and blocks to use in the 610 wagon and they seem to be fairly cheap. Just wondering if anybody has any good or bad comments to make about them.

Re: Cobra Springs
My front low Cobras aren't really any lower than standard and the rear low Cobras ended up being not captive in standard struts by about 40mm.
Funnily enough having lows in the fronts are standard height Cobras in the back the car sits evenly? Both are only just captive though.

Hmm that's no good. I used Dobi Sports in the front of my sedan and they have always been pretty good. Looks like I might be better off getting the same ones again.gingofthesouth wrote: They sag quite a bit after a month or so.

A friend put some in his VE Commodore. They were supposed to lower it by 40mm to 50mm, but was more like 10mm.

Re: Cobra Springs
