Nice. Now if someone would hand over around $15k, I'll place my order.

As I never race mine I'd rather have a Chevy Nova rear axle or something else that is similar in width because I think IRS suspensions suck for street use.

Holy hell!!!!!!!!!!!! that's cool but damn the price!!!

I looked over several options for the rear in my car and it took me a long time to decide on what I wanted to do. At this point I in no way regret going to a solid axle and 4-link. It does what i want it to, works perfect and honestly just for the type of street use my cars sees I cannot tell a difference from the solid axle from the IRS.

Technology is increasing for all cars and bringing older stuff into the new age but damn are you gonna pay for it!

I'm not in the market at that level of sophistication and price but they do make great systems for a lot of cars. If you look at the fast older cars at the Optima Ultimate Street Car events you'll see Detroit Speed everywhere you turn. Very well made and engineered.

For those $$$ a complete Art Morrison frame of SR III chassis would be a better option IMHO...
