[QUOTE="Snake Eyes, post: 5589332, member: 3410"] Actually I have had a built IRS for quite some time now. Bruce asked if I would be interested in reviewing the kit and I thought it would be best to remove the mishmash of parts I had and replace them all with a single manufacturer's kit. Plus I feel a bit of an obligation to the Mustang community to continue to provide unbiased and objective advise and suggestions. And with Postban gone I get a lot of questions regarding the IRS and I cant fully recommend a part unless I have used it. As for the IRS vs. SRA debate, I state my opinion and don't want this thread to turn in to another debate on the topic but if you actually compare a build IRS (minus level 5 half shafts) vs. a torque arm panhard bar SRA the built SRA costs more, period. If you leave it in it's original 4 link configuration then yes the SRA is cheaper but it is in no way in the same class as a built IRS. In an apples to apples comparison a stock for stock the IRS is a superior suspension and in a built vs. built comparison the IRS comes out on top again. People associate high cost with the IRS because of the DSS half shafts but they really are NOT needed unless you are making serious serious power. When you eliminate wheel hop you eliminate huge stresses on the shafts and can use stock 03 shafts or a set of Raxles for almost anything except high horsepower dragstrip runs on slicks or DRs. So unless every tenth matters in the quarter I recommend a modified IRS as detailed in my IRS Tech Article. [/QUOTE]
