Question Cobra IRS rear end into my 1999 V6 Mustang?

Would it be good to put in a cobra irs rear end into my 99 v6? And would it just bolt in or would I have to do some moddifcations? If I do that I plan on getting cobra exhaust and the cobra 03-04 bumper becuase I like the way those. Also is there a way to get that bumper with MUSTANG ingraved in it insted of COBRA?

I believe the Cobra rear bumpers said "Mustang" in the 99-01 years. The 03 & 04's had the "Cobra" name. Best bet would be to go aftermarket for the rear bumper.

I'm not sure on mods to the body/frame when installing IRS. That is beyond my knowledge because I don't know anyone who has done it. KS and GT EATER are the experts on that.

It would be good if you could find one.

You have to weld in a couple of supports. There's a thread on it somewhere in the archives . ..

re: bumper cover, you'll have to hit the aftermarket.

the IRS is nice, but all that $$$ and time, is it really worth it?

I'm not going to tell you not to, just seems too cumbersome a job, with little gain.

If what you're looking for is the LSD, you can get one from a multitude of sites for $200 - $500

more stable handling. Less unsprung weight. Better weight distribution.

one wheel wonderism can be fixed with one of several LSDs.
