Default C.W.I. IRS for 1st Gen Camaros

I saw it at Pleasanton. It is a real bolt in setup that takes maybe one hour to install after you have removed the old setup. No welding, cutting or drilling. No framework modifications. 9" Ford rear. Fully adjustable, toe , camber and ride height. I sent Scott pics to post. http://www.cwiinc.com/ I'm no suspension expert but it looks similar to a Jag IRS.

Concours West has been doing the IRS setups for street rods and Cobra's for many years. Looks like a cool setup and the bolt in factor should allow them to sell some, depending on price.

He said they can also move the outer structure inward for those that want to mini tub. It really does look like you could bolt it in in about a hour.

It looks very similar to a Kugel Komponents rear set up. Kugel's brakes are inboard to lower unsprung weight. These have the the disk at the hub. I wonder how they would compare to the quadra link or the Lateral dyn 3 link.

I'm no expert either, but I always thought that Jag rear ends had inboard disc brakes, like the kugel setup.

They said they can do either inboard or outboard but with inboards you have a hard time running the exhaust out over the halfshaft.

Default Cool looking piece

any idea on price, hp/torque rating? Not so much from the gear set since you stated it was a 9 inch, but on the half shafts and the rest of the IRS
