[QUOTE="bwahl602, post: 10861404, member: 84323"] Your comparing a full IRS build vs a full SRA build.. I wasnt comparing that..your talking about driveline upgrades, Im talking strictly suspension A TQ arm SRA setup with good parts will cost a little more than the IRS brace +bushing kit. Obviously both need springs and struts As far as building the drivetrain, that all depends on the power you are planning to put down. The level 5 shafts are 2/3 of your $3000 price tag. Those are the issue. Thats a DRAG RACING problem... and most guys with serious HP that are doing serious DR are not using the IRS anymore. We are talking about roadcourse, autox and street driving. And for that, half shafts are not necessary. For STREET DRIVING I think the IRS could be a better choice. The suspension is cheaper to build and comes with less complications. For street and cornering use, the SRA (with TQ ARM/PHB) is expensive (not that much more) but comes with a slew of complications. Requires welding, significant exhaust work etc. For DRAG RACING there is no argument that the SRA is better. Yes, there are guys cutting excellent times (60') with the IRS. But with 31spline forged axles for a SRA being less than $400 (vs the $2000 lvl5 shafts), its a no brainer that the SRA is the best choice for a drag car. [/QUOTE]
