Pewter- 2000 Trans Am
Independent Rear Suspension on F-body's
I know that TA's and Camaro's are capable of achieving great cornering capabilities, as long as you throw some money into it. I was just wondering if anyone has heard or ever tried putting a rear suspension setup, maybe from a c4 or c5 vette, on their 4th gen TA or Camaro?

you can do it but it all comes down to can you pay for it. i dont think that the abs is diffrent. if you wanted to do it cheap you could slice and dice your rear end and put some universal joints in and it would be done. but then the suspinsion would have to be redone for it to work right

If it was a good idea then it would already have been put into production and be available in a kit.

. . . seems as if the IRS robs some rear wheel hp from cars when compared to the traditional axle.

It's just with GMMG building all those Dick Harrell cars and Bergers all the others they have done if it would have been better or more handling performance then I think they would have done it. I have been to there shop and the work they do is bad ass so I know that it is something that they could easily do. It would be a good idea, but I would leave it to profesionals with the figuring and rigging.

Yeah, it sounds as if it would be a lot of work. But just the idea seem it would be cool. I bet it would give a lot of corvette owners a run for the money. If you ever here anyone attempting this let me know. I would like to know the skidpad numbers.

skid pad numbers on fbodys can match that of the z06 by replacing all of the stock stamped suspension pieces

People have swapped in C4 IRS into thirdgens. It should be possible with some custom fabrication work.
