[QUOTE="cobralvr01, post: 15557939, member: 164560"] Being someone who has a 1997 Cobra with a built IRS with the FTBR delrin rebuild kit, I have to say, go the IRS route and NEVER LOOK BACK! I hit i89 north of Phoenix with a group of guys when I had a live axle and I could barely keep up with lowered s197's on the turns. I mean it took everything I had to keep up with them. But once I threw the IRS in, I immediately felt how easy the front of the car goes into the turns and how planted it feels. The turning response was night and day. I did the same route with the same guys and I was able to keep up with one of the new s550 ecoboosts. If you're looking at road coursing your '97 Cobra, it's IRS or bust. A lot of people suggest the griggs, but what they don't consider is there are other factors into play with aggressive handling that the IRS provides. The biggest improvement is, since we have the lighter, aluminum tesksid block, the IRS adds more weight to the back improving your weight distribution ie, why the turning felt more responsive. Plus, the ride quality, in my opinion, is much more comfortable and you get that wicked IRS exhaust. [/QUOTE]
