Im just going to get the low profile bolts so it doesnt mess up my rear tires. Hes also trading me H&R SS springs. So Im looking foward to that. I do have to go to las vegas area to pick it up though, and i live in orange county.

Dude, straight up swap is a good thing. Most dicks out there want you to pay out the wazoo for the swap. So a little driving will be fun. It will give you a nice drive home to get reaquainted with the car after the awesome upgrade which is the IRS!

Could I use my rear brake calipers? Also, are you guys 100% sure that my driveshaft will work fine? Sorry for all of the questions, but I plan on taking the parts off my car at my house, driving to vegas and trading the parts. Then going back home and reinstalling all of the parts.

IRS
IRS driveshaft flange
Abs sensors(under rear seats)
Shocks
Springs
Exhaust
Brakes(if you're getting them in the trade...and yes you can use your calipers)
I think that's it. Hopefully others can chime in to verify this.

You also need the mounting Brkt that bolts where the Quad shock bolts to.
The brake lines are different. I was able to reuse mine by bending and moving them but if you are not careful you can put a kink in the line. Consider getting the brake lines

If you're getting an 03 IRS, you're gonna have a great setup with the auto. No drivetrain shock on launching and such so you'll be able to launch hard and not have to worry about snapping half shafts. At least until you make big power that is.
