Default IRS SWAP=DONE

hey guys yesterday i completed my 03 svt irs swap into my 2000 v6. they swap is pretty straight foward and the car rides so so so much better.
the rear i got already had all the aluminum bushings in it and the brace and the i believe 3.73s but i dunno it could be a 3.90 ( i barely have first gear). the car is way stiffer just by changing the rear i am very impressed with the handleing and ride quality of the irs over the sra

Than the IRS must have came with a 7.5/8.8 SRA pinion flange on it?
