    driving 10 under the speed limit they wouldn't seem any different.

    you do know those yellow signs are just suggestions for your grandma right... not speed limits?

    :-D

Those crazy ass cobra drivers were almost drifting around turns. Ill never change the rear in mine though. Im more into cruising with some spirited moments on an on ramp here or there. Not too much into turns. Maybe some 4.10's but thats the extent of it.
    I was waiting for u to chime in!! And who u calling crazy ass?? Love my IRS so far, ride quality is much better than my buddies 12' GT, and I love the handling. I for one wouldnt even look at a Terminator with SRA when I was shopping for one. Not saying that its a bad mod, I just think it takes away from the value of the car. The IRS is one of factors that make the Terminators unique.

    Indeed. I had a 2000 cougar before this with some suspension goodies, fully adjustable struts, springs, roush swaybar, tower braces etc and wider bfg rubber. It wasnt a really fast car but it was definetly on rails. It took a little getting use to the SRA from it for sure. Im flirting with upper control arms as well but I hear they destroy the boxes and stock is best.

    stock is def not best. UCA's will not destroy the boxes unles you go hard core control arms and do excessive amounts of launches at the strip.

    I would bet a decent set of UCA's and LCA's from UPR and then get rid of the kick shocks. they really hinder the movement of the SRA. And a "real" rear sway will do wonders as well.

    Not going UPR. Ive seen weld failures with them. The maximum motorsports lowers are nice pieces. Im sticking with the stock uppers. Im not risking damage to the boxes.

    Really dont wanna weld anything on the car right now just for the uppers. Seems like a lot of work for minimal of any gain. Heres the UPR upper failure link. Makes me cringe.

    I guess you don't have subframes either?

    Just the stock bolt on ones. I might consider getting a set of those burned in in the future though as the stock ones probably arent doing much.

    Subframes are a must....but weld in...

    Every company has failures....I have UPR on mine bc I got them dirt cheap thru a sponsor and have had no issues and I've beat the piss out of this car in the turns. I have had several hard launches at the strip as well including slicks.

    If you want to get anything out of that rear you need to eliminate those junk kick shocks and it takes uppers and lowers

    Hmmm. I thought those were only used because of the flex from launching on stock lower control arms, which stops reared chatter. The stock uppers are supposed to flex side to side to eliminate binding. I WAS planning on taking them off when I installed new LCAS lol
