Re: Conversion from IRS to one Axle 700 1990

The "I" in IRS means INDEPENDENT rear suspension, which by definition, means MORE THAN one piece. So, if a car had a one piece (live) axle, then it wouldn't BE multi-link.

The real question is; why would you want to remove a sophisticated independent suspension and replace it with a heavy solid beam design that's been used since the Model T?

To add insult to the injury, you'd have to scrap your 80 litre gas tank and replace it with the 60 litre tank.
