I would like to know has any one stuck the XJ12/6 rear independent suspension pod in a first gen camaro?? I used them on hot rods and the work awesome rear wheel track is about 58" and camaros stock was about 59.5". I was think that as a winter project to go into 2012 and was looking to see other installs like this

dual shocks, inboard brakes, rebuildable rear halfshafts, factory Posi, self-contained suspension module

The important question to me is, how is the geometry? As slick as it looks, I'm wondering if it was really built for performance. If the geometry is bad enough, it wouldn't make sense to even rework it. Looks like the halfshafts are fixed-length and serve as suspension links, similar to a C3 Corvette, which may create an issue in perfecting the geometry.

I'd rather have a well-designed link suspension on a solid axle.
