    The irs is a pain in the ass vrs the solid. Do you want to trade for a solid? I will have one soon. I would not go with to much gear with that car. It is a monster!

    It is a 99 gt rear end with Griggs coil overs, Griggs Racing Panhard Bar, Griggs Racing Severe Duty Torque Arm, frpp 3.73's. I would leave the 3.23's in it untill you get some good seat time in with it.
