That is what I run along with a V6 front sway bar!! I went with a UMI panhard rod because it was lighter than stock. 1.49 is my best sixty on a snowflake wheels front and back. I wonder if I should have Hio box my stock lca. FYI if you have a B4C Camaro you have 1le bushings in your LCA.

Not at all. There is no clear line. And with no sra cars left.......well you know

As sw said. Irs is more than capable for any car in this thread. And likely overall performance would improve with it.....just like in all the new cars.

Because easy and user friendly

It's pretty obvious irs is over most people's heads. Some struggle to comprehend rebound

I understand completely the stip that is involved to make one feel right. You fail to understand that irs makes better traction.

Can't possibly be because SRA is better than IRS at drag racing right? Which is what the COPO was built for?

Traditional thinking would think so. But i can give you examples of how and why (which i have already) of how a irs makes better traction. Using a big slick eliminates those advantages for traction. But the handling improvements that irs offers could still be there just somewhat deminished by a huge wallowing tire.

All you can come up with is top fuel cars and copo cars are sra. Do you have a top fuel or copo car?

This is really difficult for you and your buddy to understand. That is very appearant.

Y'all mother ******* need Jesus (and some new content).

If we're talking about straight line traction, then SRA has a clear mechanical advantage. You keep all of your contact patch throughout the suspension travel. It allows the suspension to compress without adding negative camber. It's really that simple. There are other factors that will differ from setup to setup but you can't really escape this.

Oh yea you can escape it. You could also adjust for it.

So much false info in here

I didn't realize you were touting a custom drag IRS setup as your point of argument. It's always something ridiculous with you. The rest of us with a OEM IRS that came on a car do actually deal with camber on suspension travel (note that it is better for handling performance that this camber change happens). It's true that OEM SRA typically need some suspension changes to get the best performance, but they're just simpler to go fast in a straight line with...

So your ace in the hole is some dude that added a few bars to his rear end? Thats what you're going with? lol

All that does is account for camber. Hell even at 2:04 in the vid his bars were even cambering in a little and he even mentioned it. Haha.

So I'm going to get you to tell me how do those bars account for inherent inward and downward slope of the half shafts on the hit? I know the answer but I'll wait and let you tell me because you know so much and IRS is better for drag racing.

If your drive shaft takes power away at any angle other than the point where its perfectly straight between engine and rear I don't think having half shafts is to any advantage. There's always a way to get more traction through bigger and better tires. I have had vette rears blow to smithereen$. Even busting spindles that send a tire breaking through the rear quarter then whizzing by my head spraying brake fluid into my hair.
I hope this helps some of you. In my opinion irs is way more expensive and work intensive as you go quicker. Not to mention safety.
