Default IRS

I posted this in the modular area too as I have a 94 GT.... no answers yet though

But, have any of u SN95 guys looked into swapping out the live axle for a cobra IRS?

Any information would be good as I'm thinking of doing this. I want to make a road coarse car and the IRS would be a much better rear end for that.

Thanks

Nothing to it. Just make sure to get everything from the donor car

Saying the whole swap, just the work involved to get it all done.

guys selling one by me, its pricey though. Not to say it hasnt crossed my mind but i wonder at what point you really need an IRS,
Would a stock IRS out perform a 8.8 w/ torque arm and panhard bar.

no.. stock IRS is limited, and the grip packages that MM designs will last you a long time, and with good results
