Default Handling...IRS on a 66?

Anyone used Total control products coilover kit? Has anyone installed an IRS on an old mustang 1964-70? How do the old ones drive? I want to make a track car...getting tired of bmws.

I've seen the Cobra IRS put into the 67-70 cars but apparently there's not enough room in the 65-66's. Heidt's makes one and so does and engineering company (which I can't remember the name of right now) but both are $$$$$$$$$. The RRS rear three link that I'm guessing Tony was suggesting (as I believe it's his company) is not an IRS, it's pretty expensive for a torque arm setup and my biggest beef is they use proprietary brake rotors (at least on the front strut setup (which is also quite expensive). I bought their power rack and pinion and have had several problems with it.

I remembered what it was. It's a company called CTS Engineering. They have reproduced the original IRS design. Looks really nice, but $$$$$$$$$$$
