Jason, if you do it yourself, it costs you nothing (that's what I meant). That does require finding someone that will loan you the scales. But, if you don't want to do it yourself, and would like to know whether it was done by the previous owner, or just happens to be accurate, then a few bucks will answer that for you ($50 to $75, maybe even less). Depending on those numbers you can then make a decision as to whether or not you want to pay someone to adjust it for you. That's all I meant.%/

If you can suggest a better word than poser that would describe someone who wants to write a check for a vehicle with 600 hp so he can brag about 600hp , I will consider retracting my use of the word---

However, these are not factory completed vehicles that meet all the highway safty rules/regs that guarantee that the vehicle driving next to me, the school bus, the suv full of kids going to the game or dance studio are counting on--

When ever a person writes the check, gets the keys and starts up one of these cars and goes on the highway system acting like they the man, that makes them a poser--now if that person behind the wheel is a highly qualified driver(and that doesn't mean someone who also has a modern vehicle with traction control, abs,etc), he will within only a few miles crash or get the suspension/brake systems fixed/balanced/aligned so that the vehicle will respond in a reasonably predictably manner--meaning--it will turn both directions with the same consistancy, accelerate and decellerate and brake in a straight line---

I am truly sorry that your slant toward this is evidently biased as against Patrick, SPF Koolaid drinker, and can't happen to me who evidently isn't qualified to see the forest for the trees--

There is no lower level of involment qualification if you have a 600 hp vehicle---

Thank God I only have 470 HP at the crank. I would hate to suffer such an inevitable fate. %/

Chebby in a cobra=poser.**) Got popcorn.

I probably got to agree with you about a chebby in a cobra, but I also don't think these are cobras and if so I'm sure the idea of a 460 would probably fit that scene also.

There isn't any way that I or anyone else (together or singilarly) are going to successfully come out of any disagreement with a bunch of SPF owners as there are more of you than probably all others combined---
I know several SPF owners, have worked on several of their cars, and they are a pretty nice package---come painted and upholstered--put in the engine of your choice and go driving--

But its a good thing they don't have to go thru any certification process as there are numerous places they would fail---and I am surprised that so many would be so negatively vocal about the most basic automotive fundamentals that concern safety issues only to honk there "I got 600 hp" horns

As would most cars on this forum. You had mentioned in an earlier post that the SPF would flex in the door area before it would crack the windshield. Please explain.

I'm sorry but this thread is about ride heights----

The SPF frame/structure is weak thru where the main frame rails turn upward at the back of the seat/door area--If you raise the car under the flat portion of the frame(forward of rear wheels/behind the front wheels) the weight of the rear portion will droop enough that the doors don't want to open/close--so my remarks meant that the frame is not stiff enough to transfer twist up to the windshield area so it won't break the windshield--

We will have to agree to disagree. I can lift three wheels off the ground from any single point and still open and close the doors. Maybe you are referring to the crumple zones incorporated into the frame for safety.

I agree with you that this thread has gotten way off topic.

Wait a minute... you jack your car up so it's balancing on one wheel, then you open and close the doors, but you won't check your corner weights?:JEKYLHYDE

There is nothing in these cars for safety

Fire extinguisher.:cool:

Yes I got that from you on another thread a while back. I actually went out to the garage and lifted my car from multiple points to see if the non authentic rectangular frame on the SPF could compare to the authentic rectangular frame of an ERA.:LOL:

Your better off running away from the fire--

If its mounted securely enough not to be a hazard if knocked loose in an incident, its probably difficult to get loose quickly enough that you'll get burnt before you even get to use it---- unless its on another persons vehicle

I remember it well http://www.clubcobra.com/forums/all-...-cobra-do.html ;) So, tell the truth, you're going to check your corner weights now, aren't you?:D

I gotta go get some more popcorn!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe, maybe not. I have over 20,000 miles on the car with the correct ride height and it handles great. Have not been in a ditch yet.:p

I only know of one guy who survived a ditch

... and forty thousand headmen couldn't make them change their mind.:cool:

Me too. But then again he was in a SPF.:cool:

Well I have to interject here and say you are full of crap on thiis one.

I've had my SPF for 4.5 years now and do the majority of the work on it my self, and it spends a lot of winter time being jacked up and supported on jack stands. I have never had any issues with doors not opening and closing correctly, and it's one of the things I checked.

God I hate these, my car is better than your car threads.
