I'm in Brooklyn and I'd be willing to swap for your IRS. My SRA has only 55000 miles on it and has the stock 3.27s.

thanks

i have close to 3k in my whole rear end set up including wheels and tires which is about 1000. all you need it the full tilt boogie irs bushing, diff cover or brace ( i went with the cover cost more but alot stronger) and a bias ply tire. mine cost alot more than most due to the fact i replaced everything and bought a second irs to build and went with coil overs.

there are guys on svtp that have ran that set up for several years and not broke. i know one guy that has done 5800 launches every time he went to the track cutting 1.4 60's for a year and never broke anything.

IRS's are a LOT stronger than ppl give them credit for with the proper additions. With just good bushings and a brace they can handle quite a bit.

I want irs for the simple factor of the exhaust, looking at the rear.

I recommend the OP to get a solid if he plans on drag racing, I also recommend the GT that will be getting the OPs IRS to go back to solid if he's gonna be drag racing. Im just saying.

When u do the trade keep the gt brakes, so u can run 15 inch slicks and get the brake line that is under the body bc ur going to need that brake line to make it work with no problems.
