I want to put a solid axle in my 1999 Mustang Cobra w/IRS. Are there any conversion kits out there or do the solid axles from the same year just bolt up?

Unfortunately, I BELIEVE that you're on the backwards end, meaning:


-If I wanted to put IRS in my GT, it would just bolt right up, no modifications needed to the chassis

-If you wanted to put a solid rear axle, you may need to weld in a few brackets, or such. Not sure..


Either way, I think it'll be a bit tougher... You want my solid rear axle?? It's fully built...

I was hoping it would be the other way around. Anyone know for sure how hard it would be? I guess I would just have a good drivetrain shop install it too.

I'm lilke 99% it bolts right up. I was going to do a swap with my friends coby before he sold it. The shop owner that was going to do the swap (who's GT had the swap done) said it was pretty much a straight swap....only thing different is brake lines, ebrake, etc.

Go to svtperformance.com. I think they have a write-up on the swap.

I read a article in a mag where the swapped a live axle into a cobra. All the bought where the springs and control arms and maybe shocks. Just remember the axle lengths on the 96-98 are different from the 99-04. So if your going to swap with someone it has to be a 99-04gt. You will also have to switch your exhaust to go over the axle.
