[QUOTE="Charlington, post: 14440303, member: 165682"] The Cobra IRS got a bad reputation from abuse. The engineers were tasked with fitting the SN95 with an IRS and had they come from the factory with Coilovers they may not have gotten such a bad rap. If you look at every car that was designed to have an IRS you'll see the rear springs are Behind the axle. The Cobra's IRS was designed to fit a car already in production and the rear springs were located in front of the axle to fit the chassis. Having the springs in front of the axle contributes to wheel hop making the problem worse. All cars wheel hop to one degree or another. It's not a problem specific to the Cobra. I broke the pinion shaft on my Camaro 4 times (about a million years ago) until I fitted it with Lift Bars and street slicks, then no more wheel hop or broken parts. [/QUOTE]
