That will be a sweet IRS in a 1st gen. You can get 1200hp axles and stubs from G-Force and even a 9" bulletproof diff for these cars already. Strange is also working on a Dana 60 diff casting for the Zeta cars. Additionally there are plenty of good suspension parts already made for them, hint, hint. We have our car apart right now so I can't get you your dimensions but you could get a lot quicker answer over at Camaro 5.

Have you measured the track width yet to see what backspacing will be necesarry?

yes i know ,backspacing is a problem i had a pair of 10.5" c5 corvette wheels that had bs at 8,35" that i widened on the inside to 12" so bs should be at 9.1" now but i don´t get the right brake clearense so i maybe go with widened stock gen5 wheels
but this will never work in a stock gen1 wheelhouse
yes I know were to go when i need to upgrade *blink**blink*
thanks i´ll try there
