This single thread sums up EXACTLY why I could give a sh!t less about IRS in any kind of car.
Just being around Corvettes for 30 years has cured me of ever wanting IRS.
This is where I was headed when I joined the forum, when I build or buy a Cobra it will have a solid axle.



I've heard nothing but good about the Ford 8.8 until the C-clips were mentioned here, and I've been wondering what the best axle would be from a clean sheet beginning.

I had a '98 Ford Explorer with a 3.73 8.8 limited slip, disc brakes already on it.
Seems like a great place to start, would this be a good donor axle for a Cobra?

I'm truly a newbie at this, sorry if my questions are obviously over simple.
