strictypersonl - we can debate the various engineering advantages and disavantages till the cows come home, and in the end it comes down to personal choices. I know what you are saying, and agree only partially with what you said above. For example, there are many ways to make that drive shaft longer, (mine is 24") and there are many ways to incraese and control travel in any kind of suspension setup. The guys that run Baja would love to read your thread too, and this only illistrates that the various types of orthodoxy in use out there is only limited by that orthodoxy. Yes, most Cobras are built using some sort of limiting orthodoxy, but it's fortunate for all of us there is other ways. I stand by what I said. Note; I didn't say the Jag setup was not any good, I only said it has advantages AND disadvantages and IRS setups are in most cases overkill. BYW- in some cases some rear camber in a drag car is a good thing, as they hook up and the rear end is driven down. My Cobra is a drag car.
