[QUOTE="Coop, post: 130984, member: 332"] IRS takes about 2 to 3 hours longer than a solid axle, since you have to remove your exhaust, pull your wheel hubs and drop the pumpkin. About 6 to 6 1/2 hours total if you have done it before and have a shop press handy. An all day job if it is your first time and you have to make a trip to the machine shop to get the pinion bearing pressed off/on. It is not that difficult and with the prices quoted in this thread ($800 or more -- way too much, IMO), you could buy your own shop press, do it yourself and still save a ton of money! __________________ [b]99 Cobra coupe[/b] Xtreme daily driver! (I do [b]all[/b] my own work, including engine, transmission and differential rebuilds) Returnless fuel, T-56, built motor w/cams, P&P heads (just to name a few mods) 570rwhp/466tq on only 10.5 psi boost Official 1/4 mile: 11.68@125.4 1.81 60' limited only by the IRS, road race suspension and hot weather.
