Hello Dead Wood,
I have an Unique with a stroked 427, Tremec 5-speed and love it. When I bought the kit from another builder that lost interest the first change I made was to go to the new front end and Carrera coilovers (6...2 front ...4 on the Jag rear). The installation was very well described in this thread. The other issue is that the MG piece is HEAVY.....the change eliminates a significant amount of weight from between the front wheels and under the engine (estimate 60- 80 lbs.).
I went one step further and replaced the upper A Arms with a NASCAR style heim jointed adjustable piece. This modification takes the handling and ride to the next level.....people that have a huge amount of Cobra experience from original CSX3 cars to many differnent manufacturers car have described my car as the best handling 90 inch wheel base Cobra they have ever driven. BTW I owned an SPF with a 460/Tremec set up at the same time as the Unique and sold it in favor of the Unique.
The Weavers are Great they worked with me through the entire build process even though I was two owners removed from when the kit was bought from them.
Congratulations....there are pictures of my Unique in my Gallery.
