If so, you really wouldn't need this with the QA1 set-up. They literally bolt right in place. The only issue may be the lower mount is a little weak, but I believe you can buy a stronger one for only a few bucks.
Yes. But I just came from "TSR vintage and historics" at Infinion raceway. They do suspension work and track support for a bunch of Cobras over there. They think all I really need to do is change out the springs for longer ones in the correct weight and they suggest I put in Konis to replace the shocks on the car now. They think it will solve the problem and not cost as much as other methods. So I am not sure how Ill go at this point.

Well, I want to thank everyone for the great input and I have decided to go with the kit from Competition Engineering (url above) as they have the all the hardware included to convert and strengthen the top and bottom mounts. I also like that they will be spherical shock mounts and the kit was very well priced at Summit and seems easy enough to install(I hope!). I know it is a new kit so not many of you have used it but it has a good rep with a lot of users with Mustang tubs and Mustang street/strip cars so I'll try it out. Let you know later how it came out.
Thanks to all! Don
