This CSP Products IRS kit for Type-2 Bus (Split Screen) up to '67 improves the driving safety and lowers the vehicle by at least 50 mm.

The driving stability of old VW Buses is not the best, which has to do mainly with the rear swing axle. Load changes can cause dangerous body roll, a reason why Volkswagen changed the undercarriage to IRS on the second Bus generation. With this CSP Products kit, you can convert a first generation Bus to independent rear suspension. But remember that the assembly requires welding! We therefore recommend the installation by experienced amateurs or professionals only.

In addition to the set, IRS arms of a Beetle or Karmann Ghia (part numbers 501 503 113G & 501 504 113G) are required. There are also other parts that have to be specifically selected, depending on the lowering required. You can contact us at sales@csp-shop.com and get expert advice.

The kit contains two bolt-on CDC-coated IRS mounts, two weld-on steel travel limiter, two weld-on upper shock mounts, two spacers for the spring axle caps, two adjustable and CDC-coated CSP Products spring plates, and two special driveshafts in the correct length, making it unnecessary to underlay the CV joints. Also included are high-quality mounting hardware and detailed instructions in English.

Delivery content:

  • 2 IRS two-piece mounts
  • 2 spring plates, adjustable
  • 2 spacers for spring axle caps
  • 2 driveshafts
