    96 Cobra IRS Swap

    Anyone here do an IRS into a SN95? I am planning on doing the swap and it would be good to know someone that has gone through it.

    Alot of people say to use this 'T', but can I use this hard lines from the 'T' to each soft line? (I am planning to use MM Braided hose) How do I go about flaring the fitting onto the brake line from the front of the car after its cut to connect it to the 'T'?

    I think John (Somethingclever ) did this swap - before his car was hit and he parted it?

    Just picked up my IRS today! Looking at getting everything ready and having a game plan before I go ahead with the swap.

    i was all worried about that t and the brakes and once i got it done it was no big deal once you run the braided lines in towards the center of the car , you just need a small section of hard line to the t i got mine with ends already on . if you need help just pm me

    Not now, I am going to upgrade the bushings down the road. Same with gears.
