How easy? to install the new control IRS

Camotec · #1 26-03-2005, 11:51 AM

Hey Guys,

Just wanting to know if anyone has tried installing the new control IRS to a VT/VX commodore? or if anyone might know or have atleast an idea.

As far as I can see it is a single control arm different, but can we attach these control arms to our current suspension? Do we have the provision or bolt holes for it??

Cheers
Ben

I queried this with my service manager re updating a Series I VX to Series II and was told it required a new axle, so given both the VT and VX Series I axles are the same, I guess you'll need a new axle.

Get tecnical info from a trusted source, then find a wrecker who dismantles late model vehicles and price up the relevant VX II parts, and whilst you are at it you may also consider an LSD if your ride doesn't already have one.
