Don't have a whole lot of experience with IRS. And thinking about swapping in an IRS. Any input on daily driving, road coarse, drag racing likes and dislikes. Just trying to get good feedback for pros and cons of the people who have them.
Thanks, Lucas

I'll give you road racers opinion since that's what I used to do.
IRS
pros Smoother Able to handle curbs better
Cons Heavy Not the best IRS design Will need a cooler if driven hard Does not get the power down well Complicated piece of equipment
Torque arm
Pros Light Simple design A lot of traction if set up right
Cons Will induce understeer Jacks the rear under extreme braking
Either is an improvement over the stock rear suspension. The IRS is probably better for the street, the torque arm better for the track because it is faster

Appreciate the input. I got a pretty good deal on a good IRS and think I'm gonna try it just cause.
