    Default IRS in a VK?

    if a VN diff will bolt into a VB-VL just a touch wider, and the IRS from a VQ statesman will bolt into a VN, then is it possible to retrofit IRS into a VK? not that i'd be bothered lol but im curious, and if so has anyone done it?

    Anything is possible but I'd think it would be a ton of work. I think fitting a VQ IRS to VN is a lot more than just a bolt in affair.

    the very first commodore to have IRS was infact a brock commodore i believe.

    it's not possible to convert a live axle car to IRS without cuttingout and welding in the entire rear section of a IRS car. not a simple bolt in operation

    With a bit of "cutting and shutting", i can fit. If you have the big bucks, anything is possible.
