so im trading a friend my SRA for his IRS out of a 01 Cobra.. what all do I need from his car to do the swap besides catback springs and shocks? I heard my Stock driveshaft will bolt right up since the rear end IRS is a 99-01 cause they have the same flange, is this true? any one have or read a wright up on the swap? thanks! the IRS will be going into my 95 GT

I recently completed this install in my 86 Capri.
I also used the link you provided as a guide, but made some changes.

PM me if you wanna talk about it, way to much to type.
