Has any done this or do you know if it is possible (within reason) to install an IRS...IE Corvette or something similar in a 67-72, and also run aig bags ?

Hey ccsrc,

I have not done it, but it is possible.

I spoke with Ride Tech and they said unless you wanna screw around fabbing up brackets a set of shock waves are the way to go with IRS. You will just have chamber problems when you dump it just like you would in the front.

Yes it is possible. http://www.progressiveautomotive.com/ specializes in VETTE suspension. Shockwaves are the best option.

Thanks for the replys. I think it would be pretty cool, but it looks like the shockwaves have a limited amount of travel. Anyone using them ?
