really nice job. Do you know if it is possible to do this operation and still have the rear seat? Do you think/know if it is harder to this with the c5 rear suspension?

 

FlyDoc was able to retain the rears seats for the most part. I am trying this too and I plan on retaining the rear seats.

 

Look up 'Jay Cutshaw' for more info you need beyond http://ls1tech.com/forums/suspension...s-4th-gen.html. His is a 4th gen, but is the most "famous" one with the IRS swap & he retained the rear seat.

 

okay..do you have a building thread on your project?

 

been there done that 8500 r's and I found out how small my testies really were,

P.S. is any one thinking of doin this, I am, but I have some less intrusive ideas, this is way cool for this application, but mine is a convertible and I want to keep the back seet.

I will start a new thread If I jump at it

 

it is easy to retain the rear seats! you will have to use the transverse spring.
I put in coil overs, and moved in to the seat area by about 6", but I was able to make some seat backs that are similar to my front seats only smaller. need to get them covered, they work good for the kids, but that's all that fit in there to start with.

 

Sick dude thanks for the info!

How much would you want to do it again for me?

 

I would be glad to do it for you, for a very reasonable cost. but I think the big thing that would be geting your car and the parts to Hawaii.

 

1MeanZ,

Have you driven a C4 corvette a lot on the street and track? My Camaro is mostly for autocrossing and road racing with a little street driving. I won't do an IRS swap for a few years but does it feel like a C4?.

I will eventually buy a C4, possibly a C5 Corvette (I love corvettes) and the only reason I would not do this swap myself is if it felt exactly like a Corvette.

 

Would be awesome, but I live in Florida and South Carolina so its kind of far away... lol

 

Don't know if anyone is interested but I have a few dana 44s I'm going to put on ebay here soon. If anyone is interested I'm selling them for $1200 per unit, email me at wright.william76@yahoo.com

 

Your car is Great! I am curious where you found the picture of the early C4 Suspension. Other measurements would be interesting to have.

Thank you.
