I would not ever consider removing the IRS from any Cobra I owned
There are ways to correct the wheel hop which are well documented on the internet and revealed with a simple Google search.
Additionally, Maximum Motorsports makes some excellent kits for the Cobra IRS suspension
From the CobraBob FAQ tome 'o knowledge:
There are several options for reducing wheel hop. Amazon Tuning Solutions and Billetflow have an IRS kit for the Cobra designed to specifically reduce wheel hop. In addition, some improvement can be made by stiffening the suspension and frame. This can be accomplished using sub-frame connectors (full-length, weld on are best, as there is no “bolt walk”) and improved IRS bushings. Steeda products for both of these are available here: http://www.steeda.com/
Hey, he asked the BEST way... no matter HOW much money you dump into the IRS it will never be as good for traction in a straight line as an SRA.I would not ever consider removing the IRS from any Cobra I owned
If that's the case then start with installation of some better rubber. If that doesn't help there's all sorts of mods you can do to the IRS. Each one is progressively more difficult and more expensive.Yeah I want to keep the IRS. I will check out these sites and see what all i can get.
i ditched the irs , my rear cover on it always leaked on my 99 and my 03 cobras 900 bucks to cure the irs to me is not worth it . jmoHey, he asked the BEST way... no matter HOW much money you dump into the IRS it will never be as good for traction in a straight line as an SRA.

No... I was calling attention to the "Truth in Advertising" factor. I just have issues with the statement in their ad...Comparing the fine Maximum Motorsports IRS grip box to the Turbonator?
Mmm kaydo what you have to do...
I agree. MM does make quality parts for both IRS & SRA applications. Although from everything I've read I'd never attempt to replace the IRS subframe bushings in my garage unless you have a overhead lift or you planned on removing the whole IRS out of the car first. I hear drilling out those stock bushings is not something you'd wish even on your enemies...At the end of the day MM makes great suspension parts and if I had $950 I would absolutely get that kit, take the Cobra out of service for the winter, and install it in my garage.
