Using IRS suspension423 viewsWhen I first built the buggy I was using Sway Away torsion axles, but travel was limited to 10" due to maximum twist of torsion bar. Last year I eliminated the torsion bars and made the rear a true swing axle supported by two coil overs on each arm. Now I have my 14" of travel in the rear.Jan 19, 2008
