There is nothing "bolt in" for an IRS option, the only bolt in option is the 3 link retrofit, which will give you the most intuitive handling without spending $6,500-$7,500 having someone like Mike Everson (Massachusetts) retrofit the IRS to your earlier chassis.

Cool, thanks. Are there any particular SN95 rears that are preferred? In terms of gear ratios, limited slip, etc?

I found a few rear ends locally at salvage yards from 2000-2002 GTs. 3.27 gear ratio. Think I'll go that direction.
