[QUOTE="ac427cobra, post: 4820619, member: 6247"] Jim: I replied to your PM and thought this would also be good information to share with others. Jim: I've never pressured anyone to buy our kit. BUT the factory delivered IRS is so pathetically compromised as delivered from the factory, it's really a crying shame. It's actually a great little unit, just not as delivered from the factory. Imagine this for a moment: four IRS control arms mounted in rubber bushings. The subframe is also mounted in rubber. What direction do you suppose your rear tires are pointed when you put autocrossing type of cornering pressures on them? The answer: It's anyone's guess, really. Please don't take offense to this because I'm not trying to offend you, but IMHO autocrossing a stock '03 Cobra is your first mistake. Your car belongs on a race track, not an autocross course. It will truly shine on a nice road course in relatively stock form. Autocross courses are for Miata's, and Honda's. Ok, off my soap box! Only you can decide what to do first because of your limited funds. All I can tell you is your car will no longer have a loose rear end after the install of this kit. It will plant and track like you're driving a Porsche. If you also bumpsteer the IRS when you do the kit it will be like icing on the cake. Good luck with your decision. I will be carrying this kit for quite some time yet. Sincerely, Bruce [/QUOTE]
