And, no, I don't mean taxes.

Anyone ever hear anything come of the IRS setups that were floating around a year ago?

I was wondering if anyone has seen any upgraded versions or something new? I've looked at the materials for the Lightning Performance version ($5k), but I was wondering if anything else has popped up?

Thanks,
Daniel

 

I read that the 2002 or 03 Expedition and Navigator is getting IRS. It is suppose to be setup like the Explorer. I also read that it is almost...a bolt in on the pickups.

Heh, thanks Capt, but I've read it all already, includign two threads you didn't include. Thats all the OLD info, I was wondering if there was any NEW info out there.

Daniel

 

Capt -- I didn't get your email?

 

Dan - I resent it out to you, it's about this Saturday.

Anyway why don't you give the the 4-link idea a try? Also I think it was TopSpeed on svtperformance.com (Mark@Lightning Performance not Mark@lightningforce) has an IRS unit for like $5k. Pretty sure you came across that one in a search.

 

Capt -- got the email, I'll reply tonight.

I've gotta find out more info on a 4-link... I never saw anyone say anything past "I'm going to model it in CAD"...do you know of any real ones in existence?

Well around Feb I will be driving around with one.I posted a pic of the prototype that i made on here[was done on a surb],But in reality it will be a 5 link because for any hard cornering the diagnal [sp] link will not take the abuse.So I will use a panhard bar instead.Stan

 

Since you asked me to post the photos in that link, here is the link and the photos:

Terri wasn't too happy, let me put it that way! But Mark and I were. Did you see the photos I posted? I couldn't believe the gas prices - 1.00 for regular and 1.02 for premium!
Cool. Are you near your phone? I'll call in a few minutes.

Ruslow - that is great looking. What are you using for rear springs?

Spike - I hate you. I got to sit in an NSX, thats it.

 

Ah, I remember those pictures, I had forgotten abuot them...looks real sweet.

I keep looking at IRS's beacuse I'm getting tired of my RX-7 buddy bragging about his coil-overs all day long.

Heh.

Daniel

 

The 4 link system does use coil overs.As for the IRS system thought about it to but the work involved for the price or the gain I should say does not offset it.But am still thinking about it for the oddity of it.Stan
Need to learn more about the ft suspension geo. so I can build a rear one.Other wise I will go into brain lock!!!
