My only question right now is if the double A arms are unequal length. I am assuming they are because the performance difference between equal length and Mcpherson strut is not much at all if any.

I am trying to get on the waiting list for them, hopefully cost will not be prohibitive.


I looked again and they are indeed unequal length. This is basically the same type of suspension used on all high performance sports car.

Very nice. Still like my solid rear axle though but for tracks other than a 1/4 mile that thing would be nice.

I thought I read recently that someone said that Kenny Bell was coming out with an IRS setup as well. I can't find any articles on it.

Ummm, there is nothing on that site. Am I missing something?

Any specs on the IRS? Weight? Does it use any exisiting parts? Cost? Difficulty in installation?

Yea, I am not finding anything IRS on that site either. Is there a secret link or do I need a decoder ring?



I am interested in it as well. I think it is a nice option if someone wants IRS for their V6, GT, Shelby Mustangs.

On the double A-arm front suspension, what kind of joint is that at the top of the spindle? A spherical bearing? Doesn't appear to be a normal automotive ball joint. I assume they are using the stock spindle with a bolt on attachment to join with the upper A-arm at the top ...
