Or you could just call it a day at a dte stage 5 rear if you still want a IRS solution.

edit: if your wanting to sling a solid in the rear, then you need to re-prioritize the budget and methodology of the car. May as well just do a stg5 as a point of last resort.

you can budget a brace, or install some traction devices I imagine.

Hey I already had Mike@ICON install a stock Z06 rear with 3.42 gears but I am interested either way, I'm sure down the road I will want to go back out to the track. Thanks bro.
