The rear IRS is where the handling challenges of the C2/3 Vette chassis lies, I have a old Greenwood/Bob Riley 5 bar conversion set-up, I may make a few copies of this suspension before I put it into my 72 LT-1 Vette. The Greenwood 5 bar solves the severe toe change characteristics of the C2/3 chassis which will cure it of its "exciting transitional handling" characteristics when the suspension is lowered. Look at Brian Hobaughs or Danny Popps Vettes they utilize a refined C2/3 suspension system, never have I witnessed a Vette Brakes suspension system to be markedly superior in performance to a worked out OEM GM chassis, they add unneeded complexity and parts to the equation.

Thanks for the input. The car has all of it's stock suspension bits with it, so worst case, I can put them back on.
