the time and effort you put into converting to live axle, yo ucan toughen up your IRS and keep your hair (unfortunately, either way you'll be broke)
How much is a camber kit? My friend drove my car for a bit while I drove the Saab convertible and I noticed that the back sags heaps when he accelerated, and the wheels don't sit upright at all, looks stupid actually, bloody half breed irs.
camber kit is approx 300 of the top of my head. also are u refering to the springs or the complete rear end change. if springs, they wont fit, as they are completly different. if rear end change, you dont want to do away with the irs as its a great setup for getting the power down, and also you will loose the ride. the irs style, is designed for on take of, to transfer weight over the rear wheels for traction, this is what u want.
My rear end drops a lot, I was under the impression that my springs and shocks might be on the way out, they're slightly on the soft side, I want to go in steps though and get the camber kit first, is it easy to do by yourself? I've worked on cars before but not IRS. Sorry by the way for hijacking thread.
you are partially right with these comments. irs was designed to maintain maximum traction on uneven surfaces, where the live axle is most inefficient. unfortunately, due to the nature and geometry of the suspension, compression of the springs on the rear leads to (in some cases) extreme negative camber, thus, reducing tyre contact patch on the very surface you are trying to get a grip on. for maximum traction on a flat surface, you cannot go past a live axle. other wise you would see irs on ben bray's doorslammer
