Default IRS brace worth it or not???

i have a 03 cobra intake exhaust 2.8 pulley tuner, is the irs brace worth getting if i run d/r or slicks at the track, if so how good r the braces and should i do anything else to keep the car reliable?

Yes, you should most definately install the brace. As far as other components to keep the driveline, suspension and chassis in good shape, a set of weld-on subframe connectors would be a good call.

IRS brace, diff bushings, subframe connectors, and sticky tires all help a ton.

All that does help, wheel hop is usually the bigger kill'r on the rear, that's when crap can break. If you start sticking hard and pushing some power, you might have to eventually upgrade your half-shafts, they are weak links too.
