My first FFR had the live rear axle. My current SPF has the IRS.
The solid axle rode a bit harsher until I massaged the springs and shocks to suit my taste. Seemed to handle better too.
You’ll have no problem with the solid axle. If the car comes with Bilstein shocks (they were used up until a few years ago when they began to fail and were replaced with adjustable Koni’s) replace them with adjustable shocks and you’ll notice a very drastic improvement in ride comfort.
Don’t sweat not having IRS. It's definitely a more comfortable ride, but not enough to worry about.
Enjoy the FFR.
