SRA swap

[SN95N/A]

I got a guy who wants trade his sra for my irs out of my cobra.his car is 2003 saleen, what ALL do I need off his car to do the swap minus the exhaust.what all would I have to give him?Is this a good idea?

[rtvickers]

Exhaust hangers, abs sensors, brakes, shocks, springs, upper and lower control arms. You'll either have to swap the pinion flange for a cobra one or use a hybrid u joint. That's the stuff you'll need. I'm sure I'm missing something. And he will get all of that stuff from your IRS.

The brake calipers should be the same so you can keep them. Rotors, pads and mounting hardware are different.

So I can keep my pinion flange, and my calipers? So no need to keep calipers if I cant mount them using my brackets pads etc.?

[rtvickers]

If your taking the sra apart and building it, I'd just get a new cobra pinion flange. They're like $20. I might have one. Ill check tomorrow. Yes keep your calipers. They should be the same. Im not sure about the saleens rear brakes but the Cobras have bigger rear brakes than the gt's. That's why a 15" rim wont fit on the rear of a cobra unless you do some grinding. But if you take the calipers off you'll have to bleed the system when you install the other ones. So don't worry about swapping the calipers, they will mount to the saleens sra with no problems. Keep your calipers.

Alrighty thanks

If money wasn't an issue I would keep my irs and just build a sra.

Come to think of it, wether your building one or trading for one the brakes probably aren't that much of an issue for you. You'll probably be cutting the ends off to install 9" ends so you'll have to get the brake brackets that go with them. Unless you use c clip eliminators.

Whats the details on his sra? The irs is worth more so don't do a straight up trade.

if its not a built sa then id sell yours and build one. I just done the swap on a 04 mach from sa to irs and it was simple as could be. take calipers off and hang them up leave lines hooked up. unplug abs sensors from under rear seat that way no chance of breaking sensors. its really pretty easy swap.

[SN95N/A]

Im honestly prolly just goin do what you said and build a sra and keep irs sometimes people just have to open my eyes lol.

[rtvickers]

I agree, easy swap. Here's a link to a write up I found a while ago.

Good info fellas

[700hp04mystic]

if I was going to do it again I would build a fox or sn 95 rear gives u a little more bs choices for wheels and can run a bigger tires with it that way. but to each there own everyone is diffrrent.

[SN95N/A]

I will deffinately think about that all the info is good to know

[rtvickers]

Now you make me want to get off my ass and get mine done.

[700hp04mystic]

lol me to, everytime I get one thing done 2 more break lol. I twisted my drive shaft off Saturday night out jacking around. got it back in today so will see how that works.

[chris91]

I have a hybrid u joint if you need one. $20 its yours it was $24 shipped. Me and Tommy more than likely wont be trading for a while since my car is still down and I'm in the middle of moving.

Still looking for built SRA

Just build one dude. I had mine welded up and put together with badass parts all bought new for about 2g. That way you know what you have and be done with it.

[Adam@S&MMotorsports]

I agree. I would build it exactly how you want it and be done with it. Narrow it for whatever wheels you want to run, 9 in ends, bracing, weld axel tubes, control arm bracket modifications, etc.

[SN95N/A]

Sounds good
