I am debating it atm because I have dug myself into a little hole.
I currently have an 03 gt with mm coilovers, mm xd non adjustable lca's, mm hd torque arm, mm panhard bar(both ta and phb is new and uninstalled, c/o's and lca's have 10k miles) I also have the SLP LMI catback and will need 2.5" pipes after the mufflers.
I have bought the rear grip package and a set of coilovers but I am really wanting to go with an IRS. So I am wondering if any of you cobra owners want to swap out your IRS for my SRA and purchase the extra's I have while I take everything to replace it. Oh and I will take a straight trade if you have upgraded the IRS(depends on the mods)but mainly if you have mm c/o or griggs c/o's I'd take a straight swap for the parts (depending on spring rate)
If not I am looking BO for the torque arm and phb.
Let me know if your interested. [ May 17, 2008, 05:31 PM: Message edited by: Aereon ]

Isnt SLA part of the Griggs front suspension setup for 79-04 stangs??? Why would you rather have IRS than a built solid. The MM tq arm & phb is the best rear setup u can get for a stang, I would stick with that, unless u are looking for the best ride quality. IRS does ride great on the street, but i would rather do the built solid personally. i will be installing my MM tq arm & rear coilovers soon.... [ May 17, 2008, 02:46 AM: Message edited by: EPIK ]

i think he meant SRA... SLA is short/long arm and is a type of front suspension NOT factory on mustangs... the IRS can do well when properly modded and it rides a hell of alot smoother than a solid rear!! thats why my cobra has one....

sorry yea, typo. Long day at work.. I Meant SRA.
I am more into road racing than anything. A properly setup IRS can outhandle a properly setup sra in many instances. The main one being the ability to allow the inside or outside tire to roll over surfaces without affecting the traction of the other.

I will have a full IRS from a 99 cobra for sale in a few weeks if your interested. I got everything already for the SRA swap. I'll have to double check with my friend, but I think he wants $300 for the IRS. What are you going to do for exhaust? The pipe routing will be different, so maybe we can swap exhausts. LMK...

I am baffled at the want to convert to an IRS too- Every Koni Cup, Grand-Am, and ALMS GT Mustang run a SRA. Although IRS is typically a more refined suspension, SRA has been proven as the superior RR setup for Mustangs- BUT, if thats what you want, I know Griggs usually has a few IRS setups laying around for sale. They take them off all their Cobra owner customers cars to swap to the IRS setups. Give them a call @ 707 939 2244

I have a customer with an 03 Cobra, 12k miles, who want to swap to a solid axle. If he pays for the labor of the swap are you interested?

Sorry to jump in ..... BUT I would be interested in an outright cash purchase of an IRS setup (preferably 03/04 but will entertain 99-02 as well)
Just let me know if one is available
