IRS into older model VN-VP Commodores.

[SlickHolden]

I know the IRS was on the stato's and Some VP executives and VP Calais.
But for a live rear VN-VP can a IRS system be fitted too a live rear car? Has it been done or can it be done curious?.

[immortality]

anything can be done if your willing to spend the $$$$ but it wouldn't bolt straight in if thats the answer your looking for, totally different in the way it's mounted to the car etc be cheaper to find an IRS model your looking for

[SlickHolden]

I know a guy that runs a wreckers and i might get into a convo with him about it see if he can do it cheap

But whyyyyyyy

What is peoples obsession with the waste which is Holden IRS?

[SlickHolden]

It should keep the rear more happy on bumps And some extra weight over the diff would be nice too.

You have a pretty much stock 6.. Why do you need the traction of IRS...

unless you have alot of money to throw around, I wouldnt bother putting IRS in, not worth it. my personal opinon anyway

Would it be advisable to put IRS into a VN that has a slightly worked 8 in it .... might even be supercharged?

What benifits do IRS have over Live Axel?

Damn it Adam... lol

Benefit... Ride quality and traction on uneven surfaces.... Thats a general IRS benefit, but Holdens excuse for IRS is debatable

On flat surfaces nothing beats live axel. Have you ever seen a drag car with IRS??? No...

It reduces rim choice and puts a whole in your pocket as things suddenly become a lot more expensive to suit IRS.

Holden IRS is crap. Until the VE atleast.

OK, VQ V8's have IRS .... are they the dodgey ones as holdens trial version or something.

Last time i checked the street wasn't a race track Dylan :P

Drag Cars dont go around corners, they drive and operate on CONTROLLED roads (dragstrip) which is flat, not many bumps and hasnt got the normal wear and tear as what Main North Road would have in Adelaide north.

Point. I dont have a drag car, nor would i want to have to drag people on the street. I have totaled one car already, i dont need another one gone aswell.

The road IS a drag strip!!! You cant tell me otherwise!

IRS also hinders handling from what I've been told however I cant tell you the specifics. <-- If thats wrong dont shoot me down!

Even main north road is fine for live axel Unless you count the intersection of regency and prospec roads where I always get wheel hop....

p.s. I do not participate in or condone any illegal behaviour on the road, including dragging.

LOL

If the normal road is a drag strip ..... take a photo of your licence as you probably wont see it for 12 to 18 months.

Hinders handling?, I would have thought it would improve the rearward handling by more traction to the tarmac ....

Well thats what i think
