Live rear axle Vs. IRS

[cps13]

Hi,

I have building a caterfield style kitcar, I'm not too hot with my welding abilities and therefore got a pre-assembled chassis.

The chassis has all the correct support bars/fixings for a live rear axle. From reading up on it, it looks to me like IRS is the better option so I was wondering if it would be worth getting the chassis altered to allow IRS.

Does anyone think this is the correct way to go or would I be wasting money getting the chassis altered?

Thanks!

Thanks for you answers - I think i'll be staying with my live axle!!
