Whats Better Live/Solid Axle or IRS?

Depends.

If drag racing the live axle is better.
If road racing the IRS is better.
If just having fun with the car IRS is the more comfortable ride and gives the car a better feel.
I don't mind the way the live axle bounces you around when you hit a bump while cornering. I'm use to it and know how the car is going to respond.

Thanks bris09. I always wonder why cobra owners (racers) always do a swap from IRS to live axle.
