    Well, the diff brace bolts to the IRS cage and the cage bolts to the body.

    I'm also going back and forth over installing the Poly bushings for the IRS cage for the exact same reasons.

    I have both the polyurethane bushings and the weld in brackets that go above the upper rear (fenderwell) IRS mount.

    Anyone else using those?

    LOL, thats not mine, but looks pretty damn close to it. I have my bosses car since we are getting ready to sell it. Its an 04 mystic conv. with my old setup on it. I stabbed it in 1st and smiled while I wheel hopped down the road. I said to my self "Self, I sure am glad my car doesnt do this anymore".

    Well I have zero wheel hop since getting the whipple.
    I just hate the fact that everything is a major project when it comes to the IRS. Live Axle = Simple

    Live axle:
    = -120 lbs
    = easier to work on
    = 15" rims
    = 100' burnouts
    = $249 for a pair of axles
    = Easier to change fuel filter
    = Easier to change diff fluid
    = better selection of track suspension
    = cooler than IRS
    = no smurf guts when you explode a half shaft
