Well I have broken the IRS setup for the last time. I was on a hill, and when I hit the gas i heard a pop. I sit at the busy intersection with the stang frozen, she would not roll at all. I cursed the IRS setup. A police assistant volunteer in a truck pulled up to help with trafffic, and he asked what happened. I told him , and out of nowhere he says, I got a 2000 GT totally wreck out with the Solid A still there. I thought this is too good to be true. An Angel from above.

Man, I came out to his shop last Saturday and I bought that Solid A. What are the odd of that happening!! Was meant to be.

So we begin next week once we pull the axle tomorrow from the GT and the following parts arrive late this week (hopefully)..

1) Bassani GT Exhaust
2) MOSER 31 Spline Axles
3) EATON POSI 31 Spline
4) STEEDA Upper and Lower Control Arms

I think I can use my Cobra Rear Brakes and Rotors, just need the GT clamp.
Anyone know if I will be able to reuse my KONI yellow SA shocks, that have a the MM coil-over kit installed. I hope so.

I will have an ebay IRS sale soon, with MODS!!!!

You'll love the solid axle.

When set-up correctly, they ride pretty decent & launch even better....
