Good luck with the install! What are you going to do with your exhaust? What is the IRS going to come with?

Nothing is to hard for parking lot duty, you should be fine. Before I had my garage I pulled motors parked on the street infront of my house.

Not to be dumb but why are you wanting to change over to an IRS?

Because chicks dig it
I would assume it is because he wants a better handling and riding car. And probably does not care about going straight even though I see regular 1/4 mile trips with mine and no problems but that might be because I'm smart enough to get off it if wheel hop starts

parking lot wont be hard as long as the bolts don't give you a problem. I tilted the IRS down onto a creeper and rolled it right under the car, then used a jack to get the bolts on. Was an easy one man job in my garage.
