[QUOTE="matt888, post: 3284416, member: 35166"] Josh, I've done this swap. Some say you don't need to modify your brake lines, but I did. Your solid axle brake lines will get cut/smashed by the IRS control arms as they move up and down. You might be able to bend them around a bit, but I ended up trailering my car to a brake shop and had brand new lines ran towards the back of the vehicle and custom formed to work around the IRS. A bit of an overkill, but all the labor and materials was like $200 and at the time I didn't know anything about working brake lines. Plus, brakes aren't something you want to go half-ass on or cheap. I opted to make sure everything was done by a professional and have no regrets. I never had the oportunity to see the brake lines on the cobra I got my IRS from. Let me know if you need any other info on the swap... [/QUOTE]
