When were were doing the swap, it was basically pull both out and swap both in at the same time, so that made things a little longer. Also, there was this other mechanic helping for a little bit, he was a chevy guy and I think he wasn't very organized on purpose when we were unbolting the IRS and SRA. Some of the bolts got mixed up. Then we had to ghetto rig my shocks to bolt onto the IRS. Just some of the little issues we faced. All in all though, it was well worth it. I also got a killer borla stinger cat back for dirt cheap and some h&r ss rear springs for free as my cut springs wouldn't fit.

I dont think I used anything more than a basic socket set and a 12pt wrench for the driveshaft...and some pliers for the ebrake cables.

Don't do it. I hate how Cobra owners think it's a peice of gold. I paid way less for mine, and that was including a cat back. teej and Hoss didn't really pay much and Aereon actually got paid for his swap... speaking of aereon, has anyone talked to him lately? Kinda feel off the face of the earth after his accident.

How much are you guys on average paying for these IRS set ups? The best deal I can find is one off of an '01 for $650. . . and it'd mean a 700 mile drive, one way.

I drove about 180 miles so 360 round trip, paid 400 for the irs and like 200 for the cat back, got h&r ss rear springs for free. But then again I waited for hella days, like 2+ years lol teej's was like under 400 for the IRS, aereon got paid for his like a couple hundred bucks, and i dunno about hossy's IRS
