[TR] TR4a - solid axle vs IRS

[KingsCreekTrees at aol.com]

Having grown up in the UK, I didn't know that a TR4A without IRS existed  
until I moved to North America. I've talked to many, many individuals about 
this  and the conclusion I have drawn is that, in general and with a few 
exceptions,  the racers prefer the non-IRS because the cars are a little quicker 
on the  circuit. The road-users prefer the IRS for ride comfort and  
predictability.
 
Naturally, the IRS is slightly more complicated and is therefore likely to  
cost slightly more in maintenance.
 
So, it's down to personal preference and I don't think there'd be any  
difference in vehicle value in North America.
