Default ride of a 03/04 cobra

a friend took me for a ride in his 04 cobra 20K on it and then i get in my 98 Z28 with 95K. the sway bars and springs and shocks and struts are the originals and are very worn out.

what type of spring and shock combo would make the ride about the same type of ride?

IRS and Solid Rear cars will ride different. New shocks and struts and your car will ride like stock again.

Yah I got 98k on the clock and just changed to Koni SAs... you'll wonder why they ever put such crappy shocks in a $30k sports car.

Forget the Cobras. The Corvette should be your idol.

Upgrade your shocks and sway bars. Then is you still want it to handle better, get some springs.
