I Hate IRS!!!!!

[Jimmy86]

i have terrible irs in my vq caprice ive tried all sorts, taken it to heaps of places only made it a lil bit better.my mate has a vy cluby an is low as an the wheels are dead straight with no stinking camber kit in it...so i was wondering if all irs is the same so i could put maybe vz or vy irs in my vq an is v6 irs different, any help on this would be freaking awsum!!

4point camber kit should do the trick, ino a 2point wont do stuff all.

What have they done when uve taking it to places

[Not_An_Abba_Fan]

I can do you a 4 point kit for $175 posted.

The VQ is different to the later ones and you can't change them over. A common fix is the VX 2 IRS into the VT-VX 1 so it gives you some adjustment. Is your rear cradle OK? If it is cracked it will give you really bad camber, reverse the car about 2 metres, then get out and look at the rear wheels, if they are really REALLY bad then you may have a cracked cradle. If there isn't much difference between that and where they normally sit, then the only fix is a camber kit.

[Jimmy86]

they just put it on the laser machine but they fix the camber then tow is out its one or the other or half ov each an that is what i have now an yeah the cradle is fine so wots the dif between 2 point an 4point kit i put one in it but i dont no what is aye it had the 4 nolathane bushes if that what you mean?

[Not_An_Abba_Fan]

The 4 point kit has 4 adjustable bushes, two each side, they replace the standard inner control arm bushes.

Sounds like you have the 4 point kit already, maybe the guys that are doing it don't know how to set it up correctly.

clubbys should have a factory camber kit I believe?

IRS hates you too...

[Jimmy86]

[calais_cruzin]

[ephect]

if your camber is really bad and no matter of adjustment fixes it, you can get your IRS arms 'bent' to give you that little bit more..

[H1GHROLLR]

IRS is complete S**T and holdens idea of it is the worse

[WAGONBEAST57]

Would you rather a live rear axle with leaf springs?

[Darren_L]

IRS is far superior to any live axle setup, if it's a good design.
Unfortunately, up until VE, Holden had an absolute shit 'semi-trailing arm'IRS design - based on an 20 year old Opel system
The VE system is light years ahead & fully adjustable

[sweefu]

IRS Is great however holden's desgins are far outdated. My VS had the same IRS as my mate's 1971 318i ..

they didnt make 318i's in 71 commodore irs is very much like the e30s, which started in ~83.

[sweefu]

:S I was a bit off lol .. mate's car is E21 318i ... 82 model..

[savage1987]

Another IRS fail...

e21 are slightly different again, we got coil over shocks(with 3 spring heights depending on shock), instead of spring and shock separate.

Absolutely, I have 3 live axle cars, 2 coil spring and 1 leaf spring and I would rather either of those set ups than Holdens IRS....

[Jimmy86]

i dont no the exact measurments but the pasenger side is far worse than the drivers, irs is terrible my stock wh is also bad an it has 150 on clock an stock springs i bought it of an old guy an it chewd tread up for him with 16s this just isnt right hopefully someone comes up with a better solution in years to come but i would love to fit vz cradle in to it tho so i am looking into tht further to see how much work is really needed cause i wont a lowerd car with big wheels

[wamboin23]

my tradesman has a vp with irs, lowered on ssl's with 18's and wheels can be aligned to 0degrees camber if needed.

lol put your foot down and you're back at about 15degrees again, fail setup. Put power down = less contact patch..... opposite to sensible.

[BURNOUT BAZZA]

better grip around corners though...
