[QUOTE]Originally posted by phildog: [QB] I wouldn't worry about the weight gain with IRS. It will only help with the weight distribution, as there will be 100 lbs or so that is low and in the rear of the car where you want it. That's gonna help with traction right there. From what I understand, the delrin bushing upgrades get rid of the compliance of the factory rubber squishing and squirming under load, which is where the wheel hop comes from on an IRS setup. The solid mounts for the pumpkin help to save the pumpkin from breaking as the gears get loaded up under power. While the Ford IRS has its limitations because it was not a clean sheet engineering project by Ford, with the right upgrades it seems like it would handle very comparably to a PH/TA setup. Forum geeks like to compare an upgraded solid setup to a stock IRS setup and bash the IRS, but that's an unfair comparison. Besides, the IRS looks very trick under an earlier car. [/QB][/QUOTE]
