I have a buggy with IRS torsion in it. Can I just swap springplates from IRS to swingaxle? I read Eric Debords info on Swingaxle to IRS but that involved cutting splines out of both springplates and swapping them along with torsion bars. The buggy is for my dad and he wants swingaxle. I cant talk him in to going bus so this is what i have to do. I really dont want to cut the torsion out of buggy and change so let me know what i can do. Thanks Jason
