are you joking? why are all drag cars live axles???? dude you must be kiddingacbarnett said:but LESS wheel hop than a live axle setup
You should realy THINK before you blab your mouth. If we all go around sounding like you do talking before thinking we will all say that Porsches are rear engine, front wheel drive cars that use solid axles transfer cases. Come on dingo. No Porsche has EVER had a solid rear axle. They can't! They have transaxles (rear mounted transmissions with integrated differentials).MACH FYV said:Neither do Porsches for the most part and they seem to do OK.

There is a reason, the arguments against have no relevance.
In addition the question posted was not which is better a solid axle or an independent. Anyone with an ounce of common sense knows the answer.

Get everything if you can including a rear sway bar from a 940se or early 960 sedan since 760s don't have them. But keep in mind that IRS is heavier than the solid axle on volvos.acbarnett said:so are you suggesting I gank the entire rear suspension setup? or just the diff and halfshafts and try to adapr those to the volvo subframe and rear setup?
