I would do it in a heart beat. But I want an all around good handling car not one that can go fast straight.

Dude i wouldnt do it if you paid me.

$500 worth of work into a solid axle gt's suspension and itll walk circles around a cobra at handling. DOnt believe me? Bring me a cobra and ill prove it. [sm=bling.gif]

Hell no. That IRS is heavier(you'll go slower) and you can build a solid axle to handle just fine. It's also harder to get good 60' times with it. He's ripping you off tell his *** to go to the junkyard and pick up an 8.8' rear of his own....
