Default Anybody interested in solid rear axle coversion MUST SEE THIS -->

Read it in Super Chevy magazine, it's a completely bolt-in rear subframe kit for first gen Novas. I would choose coilovers instead of airbags :smash:
I think this also can be done to C3s! What do you think???????
Any chasis builder interested ?? ;) ;)








It even comes with this neat panhard bar

Here is the link to the story http://www.superchevy-web.com/tech/04a1sc_novarear/

Not really my style, IRS was put into corvettes because it is better than solid rear end. I'm more interested in driving on real roads than going straight down a drag strip. Looks nice though.

Why is the stock IRS too weak. I ran one in my nitrous bigblock all it's life without a problem even with the slicks. I did twist axles but other then that never broke anything and I have alot of horsepower.
I am just not dropping a clutch, the automatic was easier on it.
Most will never need anthing but the stock rearend.
