The USA IRS kit is from Type E Motorsports
It is a total bolt in kit, no cutting at all
Uses beetle or type 3 axle and brake
Hub is mounted 3 inches higher
Can dial in zero camber at super low
Easy to get the tyres off with the adjustable spring plates
Only downside is the cost about 5k landed at my place and the most expensive part is the freight
But it’s awesome and I have just ordered another set

The type E kit looks great but $5k? I've got kids to feed Wiz, we're not all retired baby boomers.
