But yeah, virtually no way you'll break an 8.8 3 link on a car so light.
I have a 2012 backdraft . snapped the cv bolts twice.first time breaking the mount on the rear of the dif.2nd time just the bolts. my fix was retaping holes on the diff flange purchasing 1/8 longer bolts and used red loctite .Have not had any more issues after the fix.My opinion on the live axles vs IRS you should be more concerned with spring rates and dampening . Trust me when you have 600hp you want a strong rear end. Yes the car is light but the tires are big and sticky.I also have the bmw brakes and they do not suck! They just do not have the bmw anti-lock system witch if they did they would be better than any system on the market. Big blocks are cool these are cobras and the sound they make can not be duplicated.
