Default Possible IRS conversion

Well I was searching on craigslist and found someone willing to to trade me for my SRA. Itll be a straight up trade. Itll come with 3.55 gears, H&R springs, and a Bassani SS catback. My question is, will I need any special parts for using it on an automatic car? Is there any special things I need to do to my car in order to do this? Any additional comments would also be greatly appreciated.

Get the abs sensors from him and all that fun stuff that is IRS specific. You shouldn't need anything special.

These threads just keep on coming Also, you may need to rear shocks/ struts. I'd also reccomend to buy IRS low profile bolts to run bigger tires in the rear when you'd like to.

Low profile bolts, bushings while it's out, IRS brace or diff cover, upgraded tie rods(stockers like to bow under stress), and I think you'll be absolutely golden.

I have an 03 IRS stock other then a brace and like it is I love it. Can't wait until the winter comes when I will be building it. So even if you can't do upgrades now, you will still be happy.

How do I become an IRS GT member? I would like to fill out an application and interview for the position.
