Well I just blew out my IRS, there is a large hole in the differential cover. I assume its the pinion ring but not sure yet. The IRS actually dropped down on the exhaust too. Really sucks...............What do you guys think I should do? solid???? If solid is the way what year should I get the rearend from?

Ellik

ouch. you didnt have an IRS brace on that? I'd say see what is damaged and if your IRS is wourth salvaging and building up (though I like having the smooth ride of an IRS equiped car).

i am going to go solid at some point, mone of my buddies has a solid and i don'tnotice much differnece in the ride. i would just buy a new ford 9in or you can try and build an 8.8 from a gt, i think the mach one is the best alternative for an 8.8 though because it can accomodate the size of the cobra brakes. not 100% on that though.

Still trying to decide if I want to spend the money to go solid.

i would just do a built solid 9 inch, then ur rear end problems will be a thing of the past........

mfj

dude..... performance solutions can build u a 9 inch that will not break!!!! ask dan about it!!!

AZ SNAKE

Yes he can, but for a hefty price. Im leaning that way

mfj

yeah, but remember, that hefty price is going to get u a hefty rear end.... u get what u pay for, and as far as im concerned, performance solutions is top of the line.

I agree......Saving some money is important but the quality is too.
