coilover question

Volante1 · #1 (**permalink**) 06-06-2017, 05:17 PM

Hey all, I just purchased a Unique motorcars Cobra built in 1992. It has Carrera (3275) coilovers with what looks like about 6.75 inches of piston travel. My car sits very low because the car was raced when it was first built. I just discovered the front right shock is blown so I need to replace it. I cant find the 3275 model on line. I was thinking of replacing both front shocks and I was wondering if yall had any suggestions. This is my first rodeo with coilovers as well as owning as Cobra, so Im really excited about getting it road worthy. The car has a 351 Windsor built by Jaspers. The springs on the coils are 8" but I was given a complete set of 10" springs also. Thanks, any information would be a great help.

I've been very happy with QA1 coil overs and there technical support line is very knowledgeable and helpful - may be worth a call. Perhaps they even have an interchange chart with Carrera.

Edit: From QA1's site: "QA1 purchased Carrera Shocks in 2004, making QA1 the #1 manufacturer of performance racing shocks." Looks like they'd be able to help you.

I just spoke to Damian at QA1. He got me on track with the QA1 7573 replacement shock so they are ordered. Thanks for the info , this gets me one step closer to the road.
