[QUOTE="Dingleweed, post: 3510586, member: 31218"] The Cobra catback's hangers are part of the IRS subframe. So, without the IRS in there, there will be nothing to hold the mufflers off of dragging the ground. You will need the pinion snub from a GT. It's purpose is to prevent the pinion/pumpkin from slamming into the underbody if you completely bottom out the suspension. As slo-ryd said, it is a bump-stop. Items to be sure tht you get off of the donor car, or from the dealer: 1. pinion snub 2. GT exhaust hangers and brackets 3. complete axle from disc brake w/caliper to disc brake w/caliper (with brake lines up to the body mount.) 4. ABS sensors and wiring all the way up to the clips under the back seat 5. shocks and springs 6. upper and lower control arms 7. [B]new[/B] bolts for the upper and lower control arms (chances are the ones from the donor car won't come out easily and will be corroded) Your driveshaft will work with the GT solid axle. It is a little shorter, but there will still be plenty of contact between the yoke and the tailshaft of the tranny. I'm soon going to be ordering an aluminum one for a GT. I was also able to keep my original rotors, calipers, and brake lines becuase I switched with a 97 Cobra that was built for the same size rotors. *Edit* Oh, yeah, and you'll need some kind of a catback for a solid axle. (It's a little loud without a catback ;-) ) [/QUOTE]
