Smoothness really plays a big part in handling. And the sra will not offer that ever. It's very harsh over bumps and rough surfaces. An IRS with full solid delrin bushings and aluminum mounts along with a good set of dampers and maybe even coilovers or just some decent springs will work amazing. Stay away from poly bushings and mounts though.

I don't know where you got the info that said that delrin and aluminum mounts are harsher from but it's nothing farther from the truth.

I bet with two people working on one car and then another learning from the first you'd get it done in less time than if you both did your own cars. Lol

At the same time my Mach just doesnt feel like it can grip around corners lately. Any little bump makes me start to lose traction, as well as a pretty rough ride. I'm assuming my shocks are gone in the rear as it seems sunk in the rear, and hearing some poping noises during turning at low speeds. So i figured I'd use the exscuse to get a bit of an upgrade.

As always moneys the issue most of the time. I might have to just go springs and shocks for now.

Damn my lack of funds! lol.
