I've noticed that there are kits for 1st gen's, but was wondering if anyone has done a conversion for our newer cars. What exactly would be the benefits of IRS.

Just bored and curious.

 

Better street manners, better handling on uneven surfaces, more comfortable ride.

 

IRS is out dated.

 

IRS is outdated? How do you figure?

 

Actually I was thinking of something else. I recant my last statement. Carry on gents.

 

Don't the half shafts have a higher tolerence for higher hp applications?

 

wasn't someone trying to make IRS for the 93+ f-bods a couple of years ago? i recall reading a couple of posts on that subject.

 

I know on 03 cobras theyre the weak link.

 

the 03 cobra uses cv shafts, the c4 vette uses small driveshafts

 

A live rear axle works much better for high-power acceleration. IRS is the reason that GTO, CTS-V, and Corvette all launch with wheel hop, while F-bodies hardly ever experience that.

IRS is better for reasons already stated.

I hate wheel hop. A well-set-up LRA makes me happy.

 

Yeah, what ever happened with that? I kind of remember the person saying that they were almost done with the prototype. Then again, maybe my memory is totally off.

 

I too was after a vette IRS in my 4th gen Camaro (94) After a long hard search and talking to almost every chassis builder i found some one who had done it in his 94 Firebird.

The short story, go to F-Body motorsports, look under Photo Gallery, Look at Jay's Formula and you will SEE pics of an C4 IRS installed.
