[QUOTE="ac427cobra, post: 11398515, member: 6247"] It all depends on the intended use of the vehicle. In case you didn't read the OP he stated: (and I've highlighted in RED the pertinent information) I would say absolutely the IRS is suitable for his application with IRS upgrades such as removing ALL OEM rubber or aftermarket poly and upgrading his rear cover. Now, if he said he goes to the drag strip four, five or ten times a year and likes to launch at 5k, I will, and have [B]ALWAYS[/B] recommend to these people to convert to an SRA. If going in straight lines all of the time with constant launches, massive power and a high concern for drag racing ET's is your primary focus, you are going to be better served by an SRA, no question! But................... most of these guys drive their car on the street 99% of the time and I like to make them aware of the sacrifice they are making in ride and handling by swapping to an SRA. Besides that, when it comes time to sell the car and the new buyer finds there's an SRA underneath it they are going to know someone pounded the crap out of it at the drag strip because that's the only reason the axle would have been changed. Last I checked Terminator owners weren't really happy about the resale value of their cars. Converting to an SRA only makes the situation worse. FWIW :thumbsup::coolman::beer: [/QUOTE]
