I think this forum needs an "IRS/Camaro Suspension Guide".

I know quite well how the 4th Gen front and rear suspensions work, and which parts go where, but with such a change in suspension design, I am confused as to which bushings go where and how they will affect performance/street ride...

I know there might be other 'IRS Explanation' guides out there, but we need one specific to the Camaro, maybe with a drawing/rendering of where each bushing and suspension part is located...

I am glad to see that Pedders helped to design the Camaro's suspension; in fact, I even remember Pedders posting some info about the Zeta chassis a VERY long time ago, hinting at their involvement.

EDIT: For example, I can't tell if the picture with the two suspension arms and the Pedders stickers is for the front or rear...

One more thing: are the pedders suspension arms built with the strength of the OE Manufacturer (GM). I know on the 4th Gens, that aftermarket K-Members (front subframes) and A-arms were weaker than stock and had a tendency to fail under street driving stress and mileage...
