    Nice set up and those guys do have decent pricing on their parts, looked at their stuff before. Now idea how heavy duty that center section is, other then they put them behind a hemi. Guess I should study up on them, sure is an affordable option.

    The Mopar one looks good as a source for an IRS to put under something because the structure is steel and can be easily trimmed, cut, added to to fit to rear frame rails of a car------------Mounting an IRS has some extra areas to look at-- first it mounts the pig to the chassis and reduces unsprung weight---second it loads the rear weight to the chassis in a different manner, usually by some sorta coil over part, third it changes all that instant center garblygook of how the torque is applied, fourth it can have toe, camber,etc--------------


    The Corvette C4 suspension is aluminum, has a plastic leaf spring, is difficult to mount (however when you get the pig mounted you basicly have the spring mounted-----


    The corvette C5/6 is even more complicated and I wouldn't use it to add to an earlier vehicle---(has trans attached, fat in the tunnel/rear floor board area


    The Viper is better than the C5/6 but more expensive and takes an amount of work equivalent to an Government project!!!!!!!!!!!
