Introducing the all new Roadster Shop Fast Track Independent Rear Suspension.

The first performance based IRS designed specifically for pro-touring and performance muscle cars.

Currently available in all Roadster Shop Chassis Systems.

Light weight aluminum 9" center housing.
The stub axles are available in 31 or 35 spline.
Incorporates a large diameter upper and lower control arm.

Interesting... but looks like a noisy sucker with that solid mounting for the pumpkin. And if there were any give in that mounting I would expect it to hop like a bunny.

Look at Corvette IRS design: rubber mounting for NVH but on a very wide spacing to reduce oscillation amplitude. Helps control wheel hop that way.

Love the setup, after owning Corvettes and friends with Vipers, I wish an IRS setup were in my budget.

The C4 and C5 guys are always trying mount the diff. more solidy. RX7s are also solid mounting Ford 8.8" diffs with good results.

Steve,

Thank you for the comment...that actually brings up a great point about the design..

You see...We have increased camber gains in roll compared to stock C6. There is 1 degree of negative camber gain through 1" of compression. This makes sure your tires never gain positive camber (like a stock C6) during cornering, losing traction/grip.

Upper and lower control arm mounting points are pitched to give your vehicle 55% anti-squat, NO OTHER IRS OFFERS THIS, (Anti-squat will make your tires plant harder to the ground to help with acceleration and traction out of corners and from a launch)Preventing the rear end from hopping around...
We were also able to stand up the coilovers drastically over what is possible on a stock C6 arm giving more desirable a motion ratio. the suspension will move..not the center section.
Our upper control arms are also easily adjustable so caster/camber can be adjusted with shims while at the track.

The base price for the frame is ~$15k, the IRS is a $8-10k option.
