    VP IRS is close as you can get to fit in. But i reckon you would need an engineers cert.

    not exactly true... some of the vl directors came with irs but it wont be as easy as unbolting and bolting up the irs, its a huge job and proberly very expensive... i wanted to do it to my wagon

    EDIT: and yes you would definately need an engineers cert

    Err the ones in VL Directors are from Opel, Germany!. It would be hard to find say an Opel Senator or Monza here in OZ to get the IRS out.

    no theyre are actual vl directors here in aus with them and so there should be a holden supplier... a vp is wider than a vl and would need a lot of modification for it to fit and work properly if u did want to use the vp one

    I mean the IRS in the VL Directors are from Opel, Germany. If you look around on the net, the IRS Directors split Brock/HDT and Holden in 1987.

    i think it would be cool to have irs... i was driving my mates auto vt and i kept wanting to get red lights so i could just have my foot on the brake and use the accelerator to "bounce" the ass end up and down.. hehe it gets addictive
