the IRS is different than the solid rear. the torque arm in the IRS is used to keep the differential where it is, because only the "arms" move.. in a solid rear, it's for anti-squat, because the whole thing moves.

not sure if you are familiar with the RX-7 swap but with that torque arm in place it causes nothing but problems..... such as tranny mounts ripping out of the body, no enough room for exhaust, and an absolutely useless peice that takes up space. All IRS setups are done without a Torque arm because the diff should not be moving, please look at Hinson and Granny's site to see there mounting equipment for the swap and you will know there torque arms don't belong in this car.
