4. IRS: More out of the box potential

Ridetech Foxbody IRS

Simply put, an IRS is more varied. Its complexities allow you to build them in a variety of different ways. You can make them ultra comfortable. Or super stiff. For drag racing or road course racing. Or a jack of all trades. Because of all those parts we just mentioned, you can do everything from wild upgrades to very mild ones. An IRS can be just about anything you want it to be, like the above example engineered by Ridetech for 1979-1993 Foxbody Mustangs.
