Default Camaro IRS

Is anyone working on installing the new IRS in a 1st Gen car?





Appears to be a compact casset style package.

They appear to be awfully wide which will make it difficult to put in any of our cars and look halfway decent. The hot ticket for IRS that can be narrowed is the Mustang Cobra from the previous bodystyle.

If the dimensions aren't restrictive it appears it wouldn't be overly complex to fab mounts. Just looking forward and thinking out loud.

Looks like you're talking about kicking the whole rear frame the hell out of the car, that only to fit that thing, and it's not the lighterst you'de get, I'd rather use a 5 link (and I'm not really fan of it either) that THAT IRS setup, unless you take out the rear frame rails and adapt the setup to them, and in the process make it lighter.

we havent looked into the camaro iRS but we are in the process of shoehorning C-4 in the bak of this 68.














the fab work in the rear is done, we were able to keep the C-4 in its full width (did not have to narrow) but that is only because the owner is fine with a new style wheel (allot of back spacing).

Anyone know the hub to hub width?
