IRS in a fox bird???? test fit pics Reply #15 – July 20, 2006, 01:21:25 AM Would there be any major benefit to doing this? I mean I have heard alot of cobra owners take this out to replace it with a solid axle due to axle hop, less weight and broken half shafts. I have thought of doing this more than once but all I hear is bad things about the Cobra IRS. What are the pluses of doing this? Quote Selected
IRS in a fox bird???? test fit pics Reply #16 – July 20, 2006, 07:14:56 AM If you're looking for just a straightline car, then yeah the IRS is not ideal. That's why alot Cobra owner's swap it out....they spend all their time at the dragstrip. Better ride and a more balanced handler are some plusses.Out of the box, the Cobra set-up is a big bundle of compromises. With some mods it can be a decent performer, but still limited. Most of the bad stuff is related to how it had to be designed to fit in the Mustang chassis w/o mods (from a live axle) and to keep it soft enough for the tender asses of "most" Cobra buyers......
