Roadster Shop Independent Rear Suspension Video - Lateral-g Forums

RS-Chris · #1 09-13-2011, 05:59 PM

We wanted to show you guys the new video we put together to showcase our new Independent Rear Suspension setup. The video addresses answers to the many questions we have received regarding the new system, also highlighting the advantages of the performance IRS setup over a more 'traditional' setup.

With the amount of research and engineering that has gone into this unit, we could not simply rely on figures and data hoping it would perform. It had to perform under stress in varying applications and conditions. Over the past few months since the unit has been undergoing some serious testing at the hands of ourselves and others.

The main test vehicle was Chris Jacobs '66 Chevelle, which since installation of the new chassis with IRS setup has run to 1st Place at both the Goodguys Des Moines and Chicago autocross, 6th in a field of over 60 (with a blown posi) at the PPG Nats in Columbus. Also, having only been completed for 5 days, the car ran 3rd in Motor State challenge Autocross and 5th in the road course!

The video highlights some of the many details and advantages to this setup.
We, and those who have tested the chassis, have been absolutely blown away with the results of the setup and could not be happier with the performance capabilities this adds to a pro-touring muscle car setup.

You can see the pricing and details on the IRS system here for the unit while our current lineup of chassis now offer the IRS as a performance upgrade.
