Default Irs

A couple of questions.

What’s everyone using for rear struts on their IRS equiped AUs? And has anyone used these



Or the fulcrum counterparts?

I wanted to go bilstein b6 but they want $1735 due to the rears being custom made. But to be honest I’ll probably fork out for the b6s anyway. Just wanted to see what others are using. Oh and they’ll be paired with the factory series 2 XR8 coils

Cheers

Thumbs up Re: Irs

Hi. I've used the RS010 on a AU2 Fairmont Ghia V8 IRS.
They mount above the rear shock and they are a great addition.
The rear end will be very firm when these are fitted.
The original ones become soft from old age and the rear end moves around when turning over bumps.
I had the Superpro RS008 front shock top mount fitted as well.
Great products. Cheers Larry

Fulcrum - Superpro are the same people.

For coilovers don't bother with Bilstein go Shockworks, they have a great coilover setup already developed for the IRS AU and is around $2200 for the complete setup.
