IRS out of a lincoln LS. Anyone used one before in there mini?

OK.. I robbed an IRS out from a Lincoln LS..  It has low miles on it so I figugered I'd use it plus it was free..  lol.. And ways, Has anyone used one before? You see alot of Supra's, RX-7's and 300z.. Never really here much about a Lincoln LS.. I'm using it because it is the same lug pattern as a yota so my rims will interchange between each vehicles and its the most comon 5 lug.. But if you guys knows anyone that has one please post pics.. And any pics of Full frames with IRS will be very helpful..

Not sure what the ls is like but alot of people use the mark viii rearends they are pretty much the same or similar to the t-bird and mustang cobra rearends

THE LS'S HAVE TOO MANY PROBLEMS.  ANYTIME U TAKE A WHEEL OFF YOUR REPLACING LUGNUTS AND STUDS FROM STRIPPING THEM. I WORK AT FORD, LS'S ARE POS'S

the seats are fine. but the suspension is junk

Well "SUM BICH".... I had an option to get either one.. There was sitting next to each other and i just grabed the one closes to the truck.. I will have to see if I can get the other one as well.. Do you guys have any pics of one installed.. I just need to see if people used the control arms or made there on.. Any pics would be appreciated!

Are they both the same width? could you get the the measurement? Thanks Ed

I don't know what year LS you got it from, but the bolt pattern on the LS we built was a 5x108, NOT 5x114.3 like a Toyota. I'd double check the bolt pattern if I were you......

yeah, I was gonna say the same thing. The LS has a different than normal lug pattern.

also, its a jaguar made rear end just like the rest of the car.
