What do you guys think about an IRS swap? Since i have a vert i'll never set it up for 1/4 mile and i mostly just joy ride it. Ride is rough and i;m thinking about maybe putting in an IRS.
Pros?
Cons?

what about a lot of extra weight, wheel hop, the need for a new catback, etc?

The weight is unsprung which helps the achieve a better 50/50 distribution. The extra weight is what all the extra parts would weigh if you built a SRA to handle the curves.
Wheel hop is taken care of "Mostly" by delum bushings and correcting the camber when lowered. Who cares if you have to buy a new catback? Stainless pipes under the car look sick.

so all you did was make excuses for what i posted, which i suppose you could do for pretty much any questionable mod. The cars have nasty wheel hop in stock form, so being lowered is rather irrelevant. If it was a direct bolt in swap i could see it being a lot more worth it but from what i've seen on the forum it's a little involved.

Truthfully, if you're talking about "Race Use Only" (twisties) an SRA can be built to handle just as well as an IRS. BUT, if you're talking about street manners local track days and all around feel of the road, IRS can not be beat.
