IRS for AE86

Postby terolla » Tue Jul 01, 2014 2:28 pm

I've read that 2 aftermarket japanese companies have developed a bolt on custom irs set up using nissan parts, does anybody know what companies made this and could you post a link.

Please elaborate. What does IRS stand for? What is its purpose?

IMO, part of the charm of the AE86 is the fact that it has a live axle rearend. Being busy in the cockpit is what makes these cars fun to drive. If you want to turn it into a Miata, you're better off just buying a Miata for the times when you want to go fast and leave the Corolla alone for times that you want to have fun. That's what I do. :)

^ That is really true haha. Being at the complete limit of the traction your car has to offer is a lot more fun than a car with more grip than you will ever need

I looked it up, but most of the links just said to swap in a MKII Celica rear end.
