Ive been studying these S550 rear IRS set ups and they are becoming cheap and plentiful since they are fitted to 15’-21’ Mustangs. Has anyone attempted to pitch their solid rear axle and try to graft one of these to their Cobra’s? Ive watched a few YouTube videos of guys doing this to other cars and thought this might be a neat path to take on a Cobra. The added bonus is there are loads of aftermarket parts to make these subframes and diffs live with big power (800+ hp). Heck the factory GT350 setup would be strong enough for my big block for daily street duty. It seems a reasonable approach. Granted its a little heavier and some chassis welding is extensive but the ride and handling would be better. The Jag IRS and BMW IRS on some Cobras have their own pros and cons too, this S550 solution just seems strong, practical and cheaper. And FFR offers a version on their kits too.

Thoughts? Experience?
