IRS vs Solid axle airbag suspension

[Suspect101]

Do either irs or solid axle airbag suspension go lower than the other, my vs ute is solid axle and I heared from a mate that the IRS can basically lay the diff on the ground and solid only goes so far, what do you guys think??

You can't fit IRS into a ute anyway unless you re-engineer the body anchor points.

Also suspension height is totally governed by the spring height and nothing to do with the actual suspension components fitted.

vs-lover Oh i know that the vu utes are IRS and how would I get the car to lay the diff on the ground for a vs ute with solid axle

Can slam the IRS, but you run into a lot of problems (huge camber wear, bush/alignment/possible CV problems) because of Holden's crappy IRS design and the fact that you're making it so low.

Can I slam it the same height with solid axle?

Take the wheels off.

Really doubt it. Without adjustable trailing arms you will also start running into pinion angle issues and axle tramp problems.

So would i be better off bagging a vu ute with IRS?

its a bit unclear what you are actually try to achieve. You will **** the air bags if you go too low. You can probably lower it as far as the bump stops, without getting pinion angle issues. Anything much lower is going to be a **** to drive, because you will be pounded from every slight bump in the road.

Is this what you want ?
