I'm planning IRS.

Remember, with that 2k you're getting a 5 lug, coilover shock(I believe), and a disk brake setup. Oh, and 3.27 gears.

If you have a solid axle Figure in $500 for 3-link, $500 for disk brake upgrade, etc.

And the resale value on the car will go up, which should offset some of the cost.

I'm figuring $2500, $2000 from FFR, and $500 for parts, rebuilt calipers/pads. Plus I can sell the live axle rear that I have.

And they seem durable. I don't know of any breaking. They still use the 8.8 center section.

Wheel hop. Not sure, but it definately won't be as good as a live axle that's setup for drag racing. But it should be definately better on a track, and more comfortable for daily driving.
