      I only drove it a little around the pits & a short spin around the skid pad. It has adjustable amounts of rear-steer which helps the car turn more easily without sliding the rear around as much as a stick axle. When you initiate a turn, you can feel the rear steer out just a little like its set up with some oversteer, but you can floor the throttle & the rear just grabs & goes. Others tried to spin it out & it really didn't want to with the amount of power the LS1 had. Mary loved the way it handled around the road course!
      Mary & I each have a system on order, so we'll know a lot more in a little while...

      I don't know the exact number, but I'd guess this system has 100 to 150 lbs less unsprung weight, plus the benefit of modest neg rear camber gain when cornering. Over bumps, it's going to be way smoother.

      Here's a YouTube video. You can see the mounting location and they describe the set up a little.

      Shocks mount at the rear of the lower control arm.

The half-shafts are Drive Shaft Shop 5th gen beef up units rated for over 1400hp.

      What are the spindles/knuckles? Is that what you are calling he Camaro outer carriers?

      I think the Roadster Shop IRS may cost even more.

      RS base is $8,995, the sky is the limit after that if you start adding options.

      Vehicle specific frame rails are $2500 and the center section $1500 which gets you to $13000 real fast.

      Yes, they make a second gen version.
      67 Camaro RS that will be faster than anything Mary owns.

      Fifth gen Camaro outer castings. I don't know what GM calls them - the part the suspension links connect to. They slightly bore them to accept ZR1 Corvette bearing units.

      I suspect they call them spindles? Since they are modifying them to use ZR1 (is that the same as the SKF race hubs?) then this solves the issue of the bolt pattern and hub register. Well done of AM to address this in a creative way.

      For those are are complaining about the price, you have to step back and look at the components that are being used. The diff case alone is over $3K, add to that the axles, and you are easily over $5k. The spindles from GM can't be cheap, add machining to accept the ZR1 hubs, plus the hubs ($750 for the pair), I bet we are over $7k now in components, maybe $8k...

      Now we have to actually buy the metal to build the thing and have to little left over to make it all worthwhile.

      I am eager to hear more real life reviews.
