Have gear ? on 8.8 Cobra IRS rear.
I found a guy that will install gears in my Cobra for $200.00 that works at a Ford dealership
Now all I need to do is buy gears. Does the IRS 8.8 take the same ring and pinion gears as the solid axle 8.8. I am stuggling trying to decide which gears to get 4.10's 4.30's or 4.56's. Thanks,

GEARS
I'd check out this thread. http://forums.mustangworks.com/showt...threadid=33002
3.90s have my vote. I have 3.73s and love them...but if I could do it over...I'd go with the new 3.90s they have available for the 8.8 Mustang rearends. Not sure about the differences with the IRS rear though. Last edited by Simi Stang; 01-15-2003 at 02:19 PM.. |

As for the gears working w/an 8.8 IRS, the Ford tech that is doing the install for you should know. E

you probably already found out the answer but I bet the modular madness crowd would know more about the IRS than the windsor power folk.
I know you are in here a lot and might not have thought about it but you might get better answers for your cobra questions in the other forum.

In the mod madness forum if you ask a technical question it will have 100 views and no replies.

I browsed around in there a few times but don't really know much about the newer cars and couldn't really care but now that you mention it that is the sort of atmosphere I found there. They aren't real technical. (I know that is kind of general and can't include everyone that visits there)
