Comments and suggestions are welcome, I can take criticism too so if you see something dont hold back. Thoughts on where I should go from here?

Why do 03/04 owners usually swap for a solid axle, and owners of solid axle cars swap for the IRS?


good question

Well most people with 99 and up Cobras, especially 03/04s fall in love with the straight line prowess of their cars, and such they begin to build them faster and faster until they are so nasty they are snapping expensive half shafts one after another. The solid axle is better for drag racing for sure, however there are guys out there on IRS who ARENT braking shit and ARE cutting insane times, but really its just a matter of what you want on your car. Me? I wont lie one bit, I wanted it for the shear wow factor of it, nobody around here is gonna pull up next to my car, whether it be at the pump, a stop light, or a car show, and say "Yea I got that on my car too." Oh and it rides, handles and looks way better without modification...sorta.

IMO I have liked the IRS in my Cobras over my heavily modded SRA in my 98 Cobra. To each his own though. Although I will admit I think about the IRS breaking more then I do my SRA.

That stance looks amazing! I love the way the exhaust piping on IRS stangs looks.

A big part of why I went IRS.

None as of yet, and IRS brace and full length SFCs will be here around Christmas time. They are 295/35/18s, and they come close to the IRS bolt, but it doesnt hit, nor does it need the MM buttonhead bolt but Ill get it anyways.

What sorta problems have you been having with the IRS?

At first the brakes were locking up (fixed themselves)
The exhaust wouldnt fit for shit (bought new H pipe and catback)
Terrible squeaking and groaning (still there)

Thanks man. Honestly they are cut stockers in the rear that were actually cut too much, and have some kinda shitty metal spacer in em haha.

Shit that thing looks GOOD. That thread in the SN95 section from yesterday with the BAB Cobra made me want one, and now this. I might have to abandon my '94. I'm glad to see that the wheels don't stick out given that the IRS is 3/4 wider per side than the SRA in 94-98s. I was kinda worried about that for whenever I get around to putting in an IRS. I wish someone with IRS in a SN95 would run dumps though so I can see how it looks from the rear with the IRS poking out. Anyways, good work man. :rockon:
