[QUOTE="CJK440, post: 10116310, member: 43980"] I bought my Cobra from a fellow that wanted to go drag racing. I bought it to drive hard on the street and perhaps give AutoX a shot. I'm a noob when it comes to chassis setup for the turns and figured this might be the most appropriate forum to get my questions answered. Recently I did a little poking around on the web to educate myself and found that I need to ditch my drag race rear control arm setup ASAP. I have UPR pro arms with spherical balls on all ends including the axle housing. No compliant bushings at all. I promptly installed stock rubber bushings in the axle housing to get some compliance for a little cruise this weekend and have a set of low mile stock uppers en-route that I will be installing next week. I'm thinking I might be able to get away with keeping the UPR pro lowers even though they only have heim joints on the chassis side and a rigid tube on the axle end. Maybe I am wrong. It will be interesting to see how the stock uppers make the car handle on the street. The car is pretty darn sensitive to any imperfection and I wonder if the solid arms are the culprit. Anywho, I got this far by poking around by myself but what I need help understanding is where do I go from here? I read about a PHB with a PM3L but as I understand it, not the best in the streetable durability dept. The next option I see for the SRA is a torque arm and PHB or Watts link. Seems like one of if not the best route to go but where does IRS fit into the equation?? From what I understand, I can drop $1300 for a TA and PHB and keep my beefed up SRA or I can find a cobra owner who wants to go drag racing who's interested in my fully modified SRA setup in place of a their IRS setup. With luck my SRA to IRS swap would be a wash $ wise. So how does the stock IRS stack up against the TA/PHB setup? Some people claim the TA/PHB setup is superior to the IRS, but is it $1300 better? What if I throw some $$ at the IRS? What needs to be done to correct its evils? I'm not going to enter any competitions that have rule requirements to follow, so anything goes. For what I am doing, spirited street, possibly autoX and zero drag, what direction would you go in and why? [/QUOTE]
