[QUOTE="ac427cobra, post: 11810385, member: 6247"] Yes, we currently have 6 milled covers in stock. But............. we are currently out of stock on the FT 1401 Delrin isolated rear diff lowering mounts which are included in the FT 5001 bushing kits. :( They are on order and they are being machined right now. We are hoping to have them the first week in June but it's a little too early to call at this point. The IRS subframe can stay in the car to change the rear cover and diff mounts but the differential housing needs to come out of the car to do that. If you're planning on doing the new upgraded Ford Racing diff cover, at the minimum you're going to want to do the front and rear diff mounts. If your car wheel hops, you really have no choice but to do the whole kit. The control arm deflection in OEM rubber or aftermarket poly is the largest contributor to wheel hop. The subframe bushings play a smaller role as do the toe links but both are very important for the maximum stabilization of all of your IRS components. Here is our informational speech for people contemplating buying the kit and wondering which parts are required for their application: If you are interested in the IRS bushing kit, the best thing to do would be to go to our web site: [url=http://www.fulltiltboogieracing.com/]FULL TILT BOOGIE RACING[/url] We have an order page that you can order parts paying via Pay-Pal or with a credit card: [url=http://fulltiltboogieracing.com/1999-2004_Cobra_Suspension_Parts_and_Tools.htm]FTBR Order Page[/url] At the minimum you want the FT 5000 bushing kit, $645, which now includes the front subframe mounting bolts FT 1600.
