Has anyone on here done an IRS swap into a fox body?
I'm looking for some information regarding suspension options and wheel fitment. :shrug:
As for the suspension-
I have strange 10 way adj shocks with UPR's strange specific coil over kit for solid axle fox bodies.
1. Will they work on the IRS?
2. If I get strange shocks for the IRS will the fox coil over kit work with those?
3. Are the shocks in the solid axle the same length as the IRS shocks?
4. If I buy a coil over kit for the 03-04 cobra IRS, will it fit in the fox with no issues?
As for the wheels- Currently using 275/40/17s on 17x9 FR500s 22+offset.
1. Am I right with my calculations that a 17x9x40+ offset will work?
2. What offsets are being used to fit right with the IRS swap?
3. Is it easier to fit an 18x9 vs a 17x9? (due to the subframe mount on the IRS sticking out into the wheel well)
4. is there room for a 9.5 or 10 wide wheel? (17 or 18)
End results I'm looking for from this thread are-
1. Easiest way to get coil overs to work with the conversion.
2. What wheels will fit without going less than 9" wide. :??:
Thanks in advance and no worries if nobody knows these answers, LOL.
I will post updates as I find out along the way.
