[QUOTE="JPIStang, post: 4509796, member: 31822"] After installing these I would say.......... One, is that your instructions say how to INSTALL the bushings, but didn't talk about dropping the IRS at all. This could just be because it's not the most current set you have at this time, however. None of the blue bushings. These instructions worked well: [url]http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/showthread.php?t=231900[/url] Personally, I used this just to make sure I didn't forget anything, but some people might actually need them. Regardless, there's a good list of torque values for reference. To remove the differential I had the entire assembly on jackstands, supported the differential with a jack, and then removed the dogbone/cross-brace/bolts/bushings from the ears, then the bolts from the rear mount. Then I lowered the differential and worked on it in a different area. (well actually I unbolted it while holding it up with the other hand, but the jack makes it easier because it IS pretty unwieldy) For removal of the bushings I used the MM tool for the subframe bushings, and just a drill to remove the control arm bushings. And of course I used a reciprocating saw with a metal blade to cut through the sleeves carefully. Then, a hammer and flathead screwdriver to bend the sleeves so they'd pop out. I would say that if you can comfortably install springs in your IRS equipped car and install c/c plates without wincing as you drill the first hole, then you can do this swap. BRUCE, I picked these bushings up from another guy who sold his Cobra and didn't need them..... So I can fill out your survey and send it back to you, or I could just send a PM-let me know. ALL, These bushings are a great value and I am very comfortable with the materials they are made from. They required VERY LITTLE fine-tuning before installation. Two thumbs up! [/QUOTE]
