Mark VIII IRS?

amy98gt · Dec 10, 2014

found this today and wanted to know if it is worth it to upgrade with the cobra parts and have a nice IRS? I honestly don't know much about the differences in the cobra vs mark8 IRS setups. Can someone provide me with a education?

Good question, and good answer(s). Thank you, magic, you are on point with the comparison pictures.

With as many Ford vehicle's carring irs, one would think they replicated at lease one platform with a mustang type irs.

The issue is that the Mustang IRS was designed to bolt into a place where a solid axle belongs, and the rest of Ford's IRS platforms were designed to be IRS from the get go.
