Has anyone broken a 8.8 IRS? We did...

If anyone wants the Maximum motorsports piece we are a dealer.  I tore up the poly bushings as well road racing.  We made aluminum ones for it.

Is that all you did? How is it holding up?

It's been fine ever since.  We also put a cooler on it from day one.  I melted the bearings in 1/2 a race in the stock one.  Once they cooled the car wouldn't move.  (oops).

And that's why I run the cast iron housings

+1 to that!

The setup that Grahm posted for his FC takes care of that by distributing the load through the whole casting.

Thanks Andrew - sorry for the newbie question, but who is Graham and where did he post his design?  Do you mean the photos that mayhamfx posted in this thread?

Mayhamfx is Graham. He's got a nice write up in his build thread IIRC
