[QUOTE="Juiced46, post: 9066858, member: 11519"] Thank you! Adding Torque arms and pan hard bars are not a bandaid. Maybe in your opinion it is. I agree with you though, a fully built IRS will handle better then a fully built SRA. But the statement you are making is just silly. ACcobra You are the one spreading misinformation about solids, that is your opinion. Plenty of people have made SRAs handle great. So if 99% of the people DD their cars on the street they need an IRS?? Come on get real! You can have a balanced SRA, that will hook, shave weight, not hop, not break like an IRS, cheaper parts, and still handle well! I dont think the OP is looking to corner carve his car to the max! Geez I guess the mustangs I see driving around every single day must all have IRS' in them because I sure know that they cant drive their cars around with an ancient SRA:rollseyes All those Foxs and pre IRS cars must all be race cars as well then. If Fords IRS was so good then why did they only put it in a mustang for only a few years?? The thing cant even handle a hard launch on slicks, it will blow the diff cover apart even with a brace! Yea I want that in my car. I also would love to replace $1500 lvl 5 axles everytime I try to drop the hammer on a 28"slick @ 6000 rpms at the track! It takes more then 2 things to get a high powered IRS car to have bite and not hop. One of them is drag radials and bigger sidewall tires. Say goodbye to all that handling then!!!
