Fox Body Mustang IRS Suspension system | It’s no secret that independent rear suspensions (IRS) are superior in almost every way over a stick axle. The biggest concerns are cost and ease of installation. This bolt-on Ridetech IRS Conversion is specifically designed for the 1979-1993 Fox Body Mustang and provides maximum performance, high strength and OE reliability utilizing 2015-2023 Mustang driveline/brake components. For an unstoppable combination, this IRS system was designed to work alongside our recently released SLA (Short Long Arm) front suspension assembly. That system exchanges the OEM MacPherson strut assembly out for a superior double wishbone design, drastically enhancing front end grip and performance.
