Is the independent rear suspension on the 01 cobras better than the solid axles on the 5.0s?

Please state reasons as to why or why not.

Thanks

nope they break fairly easily if you dont know what your doing

they break and wheel hop to the max and cannot hold power for long periods of times. It was a one and done idea from ford and they went back to solid axle. But the new 08-10 mustangs might have it in them though from what i read in a article aboot it

If you only go in a straight line, then stick with the solid axle.

IRS can do much better in AutoX type performance if tuned properly

its not the power that breaks them its the wheel hop that does

MrMainEvent24

What causes the wheel hop?

Is there any way to eliminate or reduce the wheel hop?

Nadelle

you can reduce wheel hop, there are supspension parts available, unfortunatly i dont know squat about it.

lower control arms help to prevent it

Why are you guys hating on the IRS? It's freaken awesome. They are made for roadracing, and can hold up to a lot of power for drag racing. I would love one.
