IRS swap and Cobra Brakes!!!
 

Hey guys,

wanted to give an update.

I traded my SRA for an IRS in the trade I got...
03 IRS w/ brace (not sure the brand)
Bilsteins and H&R race springs front and rear
Cobra brake calipers
new rear rotors
Borla Stinger CB

I purchased...
Powerslot slotted rotors new pads
MM Stainless brake lines
low profile subframe bolt
and some random stuff

I know Ill get sh*t for the wheels but they dont look as bad as expected on the car, and me and the gf are road tripping to Key West over spring break so wanted all 4 wheels to be same size with full spare incase I get a flat. The rear really bothers me so I'll get spacers. With these 8in wheels what spacer should i get? 1in or 1.5?

Im waiting for him to get the front suspension swapped so I can put the bilsteins and springs in the front and this weekend the strut tower brace will be installed.

I drove it before starting the front and WOW! The 3000 mile trip will actually be enjoyable! the next time its on the road itll be like a new car.

Isnt it the best mod EVER

:)

Those wheels make those brakes look HUGE!

sweet! that thing is probly a blast to drive!

Awesome upgrade broseph!!! Gotta love the IRS!!! Even with stiff coilovers the ride is smooth and it doesn't jostle you at all!!! Auto-x'ing or just for street fun?

Autocross and maybe some open track events and other then the handling just wanted it to drive nicer.

LOL prepare to get your ass handed to you by some miatas and corvettes once they figure out you have a cobra ass under your GT :P.

Will handle better than an OEM stick-axle, all else being equal.

Jazzer... propin' my pepe, Kmel :)

LOL...will handle better than the OEM stick axle...and some.

Nice job Kev! Some sweet upgrades there my man!

I dont expect to win anything, really just want a new way to beat on the car. Best mod to date, by far. IRS is perfect for what I want out of the car, and roads around here suck.
