Bilstein Sport Rear Shock 99-04 Cobra
Bilstein shocks and struts incorporate a superior and more reliable Mono Tube design for a more linear response when compared to the progressive valving found in twin tube shocks and struts. All Bilstein struts incorporate internal bump stops permitting you to remove the factory stops to save weight. And perhaps best of all, Bilstein struts and shocks are fully rebuildable and have the ability to be custom valved and or shortened/ lengthened for different ride heights, making them an uncomprable value!
The Cobra R Spec Shock for 99-04 IRS cars. Works best with spring rates between 650-850 pounds. A good mate for aftermareket springs, or the Cobra R springs. Too firm for the factory spring rates, but ideal for any of the spring upgrades for the Cobras. Helps control wheel hop when used with our Cobra aftermarket springs.
1999-04 Cobra Mustang, Bilstein HD series IRS shock, with groove for coil-over conversion kit, dust boot and integral bumpstop.
If you do not already have, or purchase now, an MM rear coil-over conversion kit, you must add urethane shock eye bushings MMSM-105 to install this grooved rear shock.
Included in this shock's price is a charge for grooving it for a coil-over conversion.
Suitable for both stock-location springs and coil-over conversions. See chart below for spring recommendations.
Heavy Duty (HD) Bilstein Spring Recommendations:
Coil-Over Spring Rates:
Tech
Heavy Duty (HD) Bilsteins work very well in street applications with a variety of both conventional springs and coil-over conversions. They are designed to deliver the best possible ride quality coupled with impressive street performance. The HD series dampers were not designed for use with overly aggressive spring rates, particularly in coil-over conversions. For dampers more suited to aggressive spring rates, see the MM Sport series and MM Race series dampers.
The HD series rear shocks must have a groove machined in the shock housing to accept the MM rear coil-over conversion kit.
While they are non-adjustable, Bilstein's unique deflective-disc valve design instantaneously self-adjusts to changing road surfaces. Their performance does not degrade with age, usage, or heat, requiring no compensating manual adjustments as with other brands. Bilstein uses a patented mono-tube design that allows for a larger piston size than is possible with a twin-tube damper. The mono-tube design provides better heat dissipation to keep the damper's oil cooler, and decreases heat-induced damper fade. High-pressure nitrogen gas prevents oil foaming and fading. Every Bilstein damper is tested on a shock dyno before leaving the factory to ensure quality.
All Bilstein struts and shocks include dustcovers suitable for use with conventional springs.
