Description
For the first-generation Camaro owner looking to dominate the autocross or road race course, the Heidts High Horsepower Independent Rear Suspension (IRS) is the definitive performance upgrade. This bolt-in package replaces the traditional solid axle with a sophisticated independent setup, providing unparalleled handling, superior traction, and a refined ride that transforms the F-body’s classic leaf spring architecture.
Performance and Advanced Geometry
True Independent Control: By allowing each rear wheel to react independently to the road, this system maximizes tire contact and grip. It eliminates the "pogo" effect common with solid axles, especially when cornering on uneven surfaces at high speeds.
Precision Camber Curve: The architecture includes an upper link designed to produce -0.5 degrees of camber curve at 3/4 of total travel. This ensures that during high-G cornering, the tires maintain their optimal angle against the pavement for maximum lateral traction.
High Horsepower Engineering: Built to handle modern high-torque builds, the kit features heavy-duty CV joints and reinforced links that provide the durability required for aggressive track use and hard launches.
Longitudinal Stability: The system includes forward struts that tie directly into the subframe connectors. This prevents axle deflection and ensures the rear wheels remain perfectly indexed during hard acceleration.
Structural Integration
Bolt-In Convenience: This system is engineered as a bolt-in package for the 1967–1969 Camaro chassis. This allows for a massive performance upgrade without the need for permanent, non-reversible alterations to the vehicle's floor pan.
Essential Rigidity: The kit includes subframe connectors as standard equipment. These are a requirement for the Camaro's unibody structure, providing the necessary stiffness to support the high loads generated by an independent rear suspension.
Track Width: Designed for a 58.5-inch track width, perfectly suited for popular Pro-Touring wheel and tire packages.
Adjustable Stance: Features billet adjustable coil-over shocks and 9-inch performance springs, giving you full control over the car's ride height and dampening characteristics.
Kit Includes:
Brakes: Performance rear brakes with smooth or drilled and slotted rotors.
CV Shafts: Heavy-duty shafts available in Standard or High HP ratings.
Differential: 9" center section with Positraction gears for efficient power distribution.
Suspension: Billet adjustable coil-over shocks and 9" springs.
Chassis: Full subframe connectors and forward stabilizing struts.
