Default Another IRS swap!

Hey guys, I just thought I would make this thread for my swap that ill be doing soon. It's an 01 cobra IRS and Ill be putting in H&R race springs, and Bilstein HD shocks and struts. Bushings and other IRS upgrades will come at a later date. I also ordered new borla stingers since I bought my IRS from a guy who was parting his cobra out and had nothing that I wanted.
Im starting the install on monday so any tips/install guide links from the pros of the IRS would be greatly appreciated.
Here is a quick pic of all the parts that are going in minus the rear shocks since they'll be here tomorrow.

This is crash and I approve of this. You'll love the stingers. You almost have the exact same set up as I, except mine is a 2004 IRS. GL with install! Don't forget about the ABS sensors, and get some IRS low profile bolts while you're at it. That way you can run big tires without them getting shredded.

Very nice, is the IRS swap a direct bolt on?

Yeah, it's pretty straight forward from what i've seen so far. Essentially you just drop the SRA and put in the IRS.

yes, as long as you have springs, rear struts, and an IRS exhaust.
