irs is all good for road racing, but if you want to drag race, welcome to wheel hop city, see early vette's.

"And what is Darius upgrading to?" The crowd wonders. Is your buddy building you a 5-link?

No no no...
I saw an ad for someone in the Metro_Detroit area that was advertising an IRS. Dont know the guy or nothin', just saw the ad. As for what I am building, is ANOTHER t-arm. I wanted to build a twin-beam that should be good enough to about 600rwhp. Here are two preliminary shots of construction: (that means my first one is for sale)

Hey, a not so thru the floor subframe connector. I like that! Now the torque arm really has a good loading point. Will you tie in the cage somehow? The Torque Arm looks really stout.

Upon closer inspection I guess those subframes are completely thru the floor!
