Re: c4 suspension?

I just bought a C4 and have some of the same questions myself. Does anyone know if the IRS to F body is doable?

Re: c4 suspension?

If you go through the suspension (maybe fabrication) board, there is a member who did a very nice job at the IRS swap. He made a thread about it. You can also search through the dual exhaust thread. He posted pics of his on there so you can find his name.

Re: c4 suspension?

ive done a little research and decided, swapping the irs is too much work not enough reward for me, if i get this vette ill part it out, but im keeping the brakes was wondering about the steering system though and havent found an answer to that
