He is a fantastic guy to deal with and gets new parts cars in all the time.  I purchased both of my Jag rears from him.  I would contact him sooner rather than later even without having funds so he knows what you might need in the future.  www.everydayxj.com

Thats an easy answer and I can help.  The wishbone should be parallel with the road and in line with each other at ride height.  I think thats what you were asking for?  If not let me know.

Not a cheap build, I will have as much into this rear as I originally paid for the entire car!

It always takes money and lots of it

wow sounds like quite a project.  Got any pics??  I am assuming you are working on a classic Mustang? I would think you could do a mount similar to what I did for my Jaguar only specific to the modern IRS.

Other than using a hosting place like image shack the only other option would be for you to email them to me.  I can host them, and then send you the links to add to your posts.

You are absolutely correct that mounting angle has a direct effect on spring rate and then due to a change in spring rate, ride height and ride quality.  Custom springs are not very expensive so one you have it all together getting the "correct" spring rate is not hard.

There is always the option of making the upper mount adjustable.  Thats what I did on mine so that I could change the coilover angle to perfectly suite my application.  In my case it was as simple as drilling holes 1" apart.  If you have a close educated guess you could center your cluster of holes on that measurement and then have the added benefit of dialing in the system perfectly by moving it a hole or two to either side. Just a thought

When I first started my project I was able to compare an XJ and an E type and near as I could tell at the time everything was proportional.  in other words the LCA and the UCA were shortened the same amount.  With that in mind the upper mounts are probably moved in an amount that is the same as the difference  in distance between the E type and XJ type rear ends.

If you don't mind my asking what value does that # give you?  If you don't have the cage you have the advantage of mounting the coil overs in the most optimum location for both spring rate and configuration of your specific vehicle.  I understand that many people try to set these rear ends up the way Jag did and there are advantages to that but coil-over angle will only effect spring rate so it can easily be modified without effecting the OEM Jag design.

hard to get a really precise measurement with part of the cage in the way, but it should be close to 29 & 3/8"  Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

sorry about that I totally misunderstood what you were after.  I have a cage out in the garage and will get that measurement for you.

Not sure what you are working with but those XJ6 numbers are correct.  here is an excerpt from a PDF on identifying Jar IRS units

Sorry I didn't get back to you yesterday.  Been dealing with snow removal after a storm.  When I measured I came up with about 13.25" center to center.  Let me know if you need anything else.

I can measure a set from an XJ6 that I have in my garage.  What dimensions specifically are you after diameter, and eye to eye??

The closer to vertical you can make it the better off you will be.  The angle of the coil over reduces its total travel (coil over still has the same amount of travel but the suspension will have less travel before the coilover bottoms out) and it will reduce its effectiveness (less shock dampening less spring rate).  It sounds to me like you have accounted for these things (correct me if I am wrong) so if it was me I would try to get the coil over as vertical as possible and then make adjustment as needed to allow it to work within the confines of the fabrication and practicality.  email some pix and I can post them for you.

Unless you have any objections I am going to take the info from this post and put in on a new DazeCars "Mustang IRS success stories" web page. I get a lot of emails of people asking if I ever finished the project and I think what you have done will be a lot of help to them.

How does it handle??  That looks like a fantastic install, in fact I am extremely impressed, especially with the upper shock mount, what a brilliant way to make them adjustable.  Thats a lot cleaner than the way I did it.

I think I would go power.  Its not just about the ease of steering but also the amount of forse being exerted on the steering components from the rack input shaft to the steering wheel.  After doing a dry test n my Galaxia I saw how much those parts moved arounds and all that is eliminated by the power assist.  Mot to mention the fact that these cars do not like to turn very well when the steering is manual. just my 2¢
