VS Live Axel Price - $200 to $250
VS Independent Rear Suspension (IRS) Price - $250 to $300

By live axel do you mean the Solid Beam axel? I thought the IRS would be cheaper to do as the exhaust does not have to be placed over the top of the solid beam which is not there, unlike the solid beam axel. I got quoted at $290 fitted redback catback system for my VS commdore exec and my exhaust has a bend in it at the end just before the rear resinator, hence I think its solid beam. I thought there was more cost in doing the solid beam compared to the IRS?

Live Axel = Solid Beam. Live Axel is often cheaper because there are more Live Axel VR/VS commodores.

wind up the pressure in the auto slightly and get a performance tune with the shifts changed youll notice the difference allright much better than the sloppy stock shifting after time.
