My vote is the C4 IRS swap.

I remember 1MeanZ once saying that there is a noticeable improvement. I also remember him comparing it to his 91 TA with a solid rear axle. Apparently the rear end of the TA would hop over an inch on a bump on a certain turn and the camaro would stay planted. I'm not sure why he deleted his posts though.
In the CHASSIS forum, look up 1MeanZ & the thread RE: C4 Corvette rearend or something real close to that title. It's been re-updated.

All-in-All, it would be a really cool swap, but its a LOT more work than a C4 Rear end swap with a relatively minor up-side in comparison ( Comparing apples to apples here being corvette to corvette) and we're still not solid that the conversion will improve handling over the Camaro suspension anyway.

Iansane, You make some great points. I would absolutely love to do a back half of a C5 or C6 in my car. someday I hope to do so, especially because I think our cars would benefit from the better weight ratio and suspension.
