It's plenty strong, it's a 31 spline unit so make sure you get 31 spline axles for your rear.

The factory shocks are too wide where they slide into the mounts on the SRA, they would have to be ground down. I don't have the springs in front of me.... but IIRC they are very different. Even if you could get it to work, I wouldn't. Use suspension that's meant for the solid rear.

The springs are different and can't be interchanged.

cool awesome, as long as the trac loc is good and strong i am a happy camper. any need for c-clip eliminators for a car with 600hp, that sees the track a hand full of times a year?

If you reuse the IRS shocks it will ride real bad. The rear end will bounce a lot. I did it for about 2 days untill i bought new shocks. I picked up some $20 Monroe sensatracs for a 04 GT and the car rides great. Im not sure about using the IRS springs. I was thinking the springs were too tall or something. I went with Steeda sport springs.

You will need springs made for a solid axle. GT springs have a small coil on the bottom where they mount on the lower control arm where the IRS springs dont.
