I am trying to post a new product, but I cannot figure out how to do it. Here is the link to it on EBAY.

So are you trying to use this site to promote your product?

Better talk to Al first.

I'm really just trying to see if there is much interest in a bolt up c4 corvette independent rear suspension conversion kit. I have checked out a couple of companies that do this conversion and it is a long process that involves sectioning and narrowing the frame to fit the suspension. What I'm wondering is that would many people be interesed in doing the conversion if it could be done in thier own garage, and it required about the same amount of skill that it would take to swap out a regular solid axle?

This may not be the optimum place to ask this question...

The majority here are, shall we say, straightline oriented? There is a minority interested in what an IRS could bring to a Chevelle. But it is definitely a minority.

Might be more interest in the pro-touring membership.

I suspect that for many the $$$ will be a put-off, especially at your current price point.

Awww, c'mon guys. How am I going to disect this "bolt-in" IRS kit without the link?

I've seen it done before... interesting idea but I don't know that it has THAT much benefit over a well done solid axle rear, at least in a big chevelle. In fact the solid axle probably gives you more versatility, particularly if you ever want to go to the drag strip. Breaking half shafts would suck!

Search for "corvette suspension" on ebay and you will find it...

Or better yet:

Its pretty neat, but it would suck to loose full length tail pipes.
And for 1800 dollars I'd already need to have a great set of front brakes, an engine I was fully satified with and an overdrive transmission.

So yup, its cool, but the price to benefit ratio, doesn't make it seem like I'd want to do it anytime soon.

Maybe when the house is paid off, and the kids college paid for,
and I've got the above mentioned things already done to my car, that would be a cool "Wowie" feature.

$1800 for a carrier mounting bracket and two pairs of longer toe rods seems a bit on the high side to me.

Also, what is the effect of those longer toe rods on the already less-than-optimal C4 rear geometry? Was the modification run through suspension design software, or were the links just designed to fit on the car with minimal mods with no regard to their affect on the overall suspension geometry?

Nice to see someone put the effort into an IRS adapter kit for a 68-72 A-body, but if I wanted to put IRS into my car (and I have seriously thought about it) I would use something other than a C4 setup. Yes, they're easily available, and yes, they look cool, but they aren't the best from a geometry standpoint and things get ugly if a halfshaft breaks, which is a very good possibility with the power level a lot of guys are running and given the extra load that the additional 500+ lbs of the A-body chassis will place on the suspension compared to a C4.

You got any stock dog bones & mounts you want to get rid of? I'm looking for a set - P.M. me.
