Default Independent Rear Suspension

Has anybody had any experience with this product, the T-5 Independent Rear Suspension?

The reason I ask isn't that I am actually interested, at least not right now, but I was doing a little reading and noticed that this guy just happens to live literally a stones throw from the end of my driveway.

I have got to go and introduce myself.

Keep in mind that if you want to drag race, IRS is considerably less than ideal for a rear suspension. If you want to drive around corners, it's at the top of the list. There are several people here who have done it, so if you keep checking back I'm sure they'll post up some stuff.

From what i seen a 3 link with a watts link and triangulated 4 bar out handle a irs. Only thing i see a irs good for is a smoother ride.

There are good 3 link/watts setups for classic stangs out there.

TCP makes a 3 link setup as well, but I think they're stuff is way overpriced.
