Yeah... I hear you. Not trying to start a fight, just trying to give my two cents. It's really hard to determine what is what with all the claims that are out there. The only thing an average person like me has to go by is what the companies claim and what I can distill it down to as far as getting to the truth and, of course, the input I get here. I've driven 3 and 4 link cars that my friends have had and they did corner pretty nicely but seem pretty stiff over all as far as ride. Compared to the sports cars I have driven that employ IRS in their rear end, they seem to have a smoother range throughout unlike the 3 and 4's I drove. They were kind of hooky at certain points in the turns under certain road conditions and it felt a little weird. Maybe theirw was not set up right? I don't know. It just seems weird, as I've said before, that practically every car manufacturer nowadays uses IRS as their rear end. Wouldn't it be cheaper for them to go with a solid axle and 3 or 4 link? This is one of the many things that I don't understand. Also, every one I have talked to can't really give me a reason why IRS is bad other than cost and difficulty of installation. Anyone want to clear this up?
