[QUOTE="whyte_03, post: 8898903, member: 51493"] gee lets see. I WENT SOLID! the IRS was drama to my driving style, i never broke a diff cover tho. If you decide to go solid be sure to use the ford C=springs... they are kick ass amd are not priced like the rest...you might need to trim the rear springs a tad for your desired height. I have over 40k miles on my solid and have not ever needed to get under the car to replace anything that i had to deal with when I had the IRS. From 14k miles to 55k miles I replaced one halfshaft (boot went bad) and sealed the diff 3 times. That is total crap and obviously the flaw of the IRS. If you go solid get 3.73's. I noticed a better pull when they were installed. If you find a stock GT rear from 99 and up just bolt it right in and go. I drove with a untouched stock 03 rear for 15k miles and the gas mileage was great. I got 395 miles to a tank of gas with the 3.27's. The solid axle swap was EASY..I picked up all the lil hardware crap from the junk yard off a V6 but ordered all the good stuff like control arms from a good source. And truthfully.. i don't really notice any driving condition differences.....car still hangs corners great and I have yet to install a sway bar.
