I've been thinking about swapping the stock 3.55 for a lower gear, but can't make my mind up on which to go with 3.90 or 4.10. I'm still running the IRS with level 2 half shafts and have been a little reluctant to open the pumpkin. I've almost got 5,600 miles on the car and I was thinking of waiting until I get atleast 6,000 on it before I swapped gears so as to not void my warranty!J/K Once I get done with the coupe (if I really ever will be) I'm planning on a tubular K-member/coilovers for the Cobra, but I'll prolly leave it IRS. I know the solid axle helps on the weight, but I built the coupe as my straight line car and the Cobra is my nice weekend/vacation cruiser!
