    Default Vn Irs

    As the topic states, This is about VN Indipendant Rear Suspension.

    At the moment my Berlina has Live Axel and i would like to change it to IRS and have a rear suspension. How would i go about this?

    VN SS and all the HSV VN's i assume had IRS, yet finding one of those in a wrecking yard will be like finding a teeth on a duck.

    Any help is appriciated.

    Adam.

    IRS was introduced with the VP... not available in ANY VN's.

    Originally came out on the VQ stato and was adapted to the VP from there.

    Yeah it is.

    It's easy as man, go and buy a rolling VP shell with IRS and swap everything over that's the easiest way you are going to get IRS. But really you don't want it, the VP-VZ IRS is crap anyway, you might gain a bit of traction around corners but there are alot of disadvatages too.

    The only time to get IRS is when it's a good setup like in the Fords or the VE or anything that runs a proper 4 arm setup like that
