Is there any diference in the Front Struts and Ind. Rear susp. on these 2 cars?

What are the diference in Brakes?

If there is any:

Rear ends have different spring rates as irs vs sra sprung/unsprung weights differ, 03/04 cobras have restamped lca's
Rear brakes are the same, fronts are twin piston PBR brakes with 13" rotors.
Depennds on what area you want to surpass. strait line racing, yeah; street manners, no; but track racing, depends. Alot of 3 link, or sra rear suspensions can offer equal cornering benefits compared to a built IRS to some, others disagree. Narrow down your field of surpemecy first

I ask because I just boughta 68 and there is a conversion to use all 04 Cobra suspension,brakes and engine. I just wanted to know if I could use the GT cheaper route for this conversion, but I see that there is no cheap route around this... LOL:D
