Default IRS IN A 90 LX?

a friend of mine recently rolled his 03 cobra. sucks for him, but left me with a chance to get full cobra brakes, irs, and rims for my 90. anyone know of any problems getting the irs to fit right? also concerned about being too wide for my fenders. thanks for any input..

i thought a solid axel planted better than a irs? so if you plan on racing the car i would not do it, and their is more to go wrong with the irs, but i bet it would handle better.

he's got 2 sets of seats with grey inserts. looking for 1200 a set + ups ground. they are immaculate. drop him a line at jsvtcobra@gmail.com


i am looking to put this car together for awesome handling. neck snapping launches dont concern me, so i think i will be pretty happy with the handling of the irs. does anyone have any idea if the stock cobra wheels will work with this on a fox? got a bunch of guess' either way, but nobody that know for sure. thanks

I think 1200 for a set w/out shipping is a little much
