    Default live axle or irs

    hey guys
    im about to buy a 96 vs series 1 executive
    it has the 5L backed by t5
    just wondering if it would have live axle or irs....i have been told that the executives came with live axle but not sure
    i know that the car has a lsd

    also what are the benefits of either system in your opinions

    no i havent seen the car as of yet but am very interested and the guy isnt a fan of returning calls
    cheers for the help
    i did some more research and it seems that the executive came with a live axle standard but could be optioned with irs
