Complete IRS assembly (Donor parts not included)

Our independent rear suspension is the for the person who needs the absolute top of the line performance and ride from his Factory Five car.  The kit comes with the IRS cage, shocks, upper and lower control arms, shorter half shafts, and all hardware.  If ordered with a kit we weld in all the mounts so it is ready to assembly and shipping is free, but many people have retrofitted this kit into their solid axle cars.  It will work on all Mark I, II, and III cars.  The center section, CV joints, hubs, brakes, and spindles are all from the extremely common late 80's to mid 90's Ford products listed below.  The IRS comes in both standard (59.25") to accommodate lug wheels and pin drive (54.25") width for authentic knock-off wheels that we sell..
