So im lookin for a 96 stang. with new head lights (to clear up yellowing).
im absolutly in love with that years style and latly ive seen some on cardomain. black car, black bullits, clear new headlights w/ dark housing, cobra front bumper, s-281 wing & rear bumper

but what im wondering about is the live axels suspention. are coil-over's an option for that?? Id do a torqe arm and m&m controle arms, but what about a coil over in the rear??

and the Cobra IRS, with coil overs and tubular control arms, can a IRS hook good enough for street fun?? for a weekend fun car that drags for fun?? about 12's or 13's??

this one looks like how id like mine to look.

First of all, you can't get a panhard bar or torque arm if you have an IRS setup, it would totally defeat the purpose of the IRS. Second, the live axle is plenty of fun for daily driving and such. The IRS would be a more comfortable ride, and better handling over all, but the live axle works great for driveable fun, and track grip. As far as the rest, i hope u find the car you're looking for.

If youre looking for 12's or 13's in a 96 go with a cobra not the gt. It would be expensive to get the sohc 4.6 to go that fast.
