If you do this and discover that no two corners on your car are the same, you just found out why adjustable coil-over struts are just so darn handy.

Is The Shelby GT500 Kenny's NEW Cobra R? - Kenny Brown Puts His "Magic Touch" on Shelby GT500's With NEW GT-4 Suspension System
The other day someone asked me, "Is the Shelby GT500 your new Cobra R?"… After some reflection, the comment did resonate with me in fact it remind me of 2003 and 2004, when around 200 Cobra R race cars started showing up at my door.

A day at the track with my friend George
I have a saying - "A Bad Day at the Track is better than a Good Day at the Office!" That makes a good day at the track absolutely PRICELESS. Well I had one of those priceless days at the track recently at Putnam Park. Over the winter one of my customers George decided to step up the performance of his 2001 Kenny Brown Cobra. George does quite a few track days and wanted to be able to run with the really fast guys. So he added a Vortech Supercharger and had the engine upgraded.

I see you have some new products! I've been looking for a good brake duct kit and have a few questions on yours. The photo on the web site only shows the plate that attaches to the spindle. Are hoses and some kind of brackets for mounting the inlet end of the hose included in the kit too? If not, what size hose is needed? One brake engineer told me it's not the greatest idea to completely close off the eye of the rotor unless there's at least a 4inch hose supplying air.
