Default Greatest mod ever!! (IRS Content)

What up everyone, so after a long grueling 18 hours of work my IRS/suspension build is complete! Everything that went in we're H&R race springs, Bilstein HD shocks and struts and an 01 cobra IRS.
All I can say about this set up it WOW. It rides so much smoother than the SRA, and now has absolutely no body roll at all. It handles incredible too. The steering is much more responsive now and goes right where you point it immediately.
The install was a huge PITA to do because we kept running into stupid little problems but it was definitely all worth it now that it's done. And now onto the pictures!

During:

After:





Let me know what you guys think!

Dude, the IRS is a completely different animal! Just couldn't see my car not having it anymore. Handles and rides so much better!!! And my car launches hard on the street too. It's got it's weaknesses but overall it's great!

Purp, you'll never do an IRS swap. And you know about the IRS. I've done explained that and given you a ride. Lol

Still remember how excited you were when you finally got yours in =P

It's a night and day difference as far as ride quality. The quality gets an even larger improvement once you throw a set of coilovers back there. It feels sooooooo nice imo with a co setup back there than the stock setup.

Thats so hard for me to imagine right now having a better ride quality and performance because the car handles and rides soooo well as it is right now with the bilsteins and H&R's.

I'm even considering stealing Ubers car one night and swapping in an IRS into his car and returning it before he goes to work in the morning.
