Im looking to get a IRS brace for my (basically stock) 04 cobra, its lowered on H&R springs, bassani o/r x with borla catback. I havent touched the irs, so now im looking for a good irs brace to make it solid?

Thanks for your input.

Changing the IRS diff cover is a PITA but if you have a lift or mad skills then its the better way to go. I just like the simple bolt n go of the BF brace

It's not that hard, just gotta follow the how to and use a jack. I did it with one arm after my shoulder surgery. So anyone can

Skip a brace the reinforced covers such as FRPP are the new way to go.

Get the new ford cover, braces are just old technology that were needed before there was a proper built cover made.

Before the new Ford Racing cover came along the rear cover brace was a good band-aid. But the new Ford Racing cover is the way to go now. It will make your differential much more bullet proof.

FT 1350

We offer them on the order page on our site as part number FT 1350:

FTBR Mustang Cobra IRS Parts

If you have a rear lowering differential mount on your car you will need our milled version of this cover to clear the inner toe link mounts on the subframe:

FT 1350M

A Terminator has fairly poor driveline angles from the factory as explained in the FAQ on our site:

FTBR FAQ's

Not all cars have a driveline vibe. It's sort of the luck of the draw if your car has a vibe or not.

The differences between the FT 1300 Delrin rear diff bushing set and the FT 1401 Delrin isolated rear diff lowering mounts we offer is explained here:

FTBR FAQ's

If you're lowering the rear diff mount with either our Delrin isolated rear diff lowering mount FT 1401 or you already have a competitor's non-isolated lowering rear diff mount, then you will need the milled version of the Ford Racing cover that we offer.


If you have additional questions just let me know.
