HammerHead Announces Three Stages of 12-Bolt IRS For 2010+ Camaros

There’s no modern muscle car more popular than the 5th Generation Chevrolet Camaro. Today’s Camaros are the perfect platform to go faster and build insane amounts of horsepower, that is except for the factory independent rear suspension (IRS). The factory rear housing is the car’s weakest link and that is why HammerHead has created the new standard in high horsepower independent rear suspension technology: the revolutionary HammerHead 12-bolt housing.

The HammerHead housing is part of three different complete bolt-in replacement kits for the 5th Generation (2010+) Camaro. HammerHead housings has teamed up with industry leader The Driveshaft Shop and will offer kits featuring race proven DSS axles rated up to 1400HP as well as their bulletproof driveshafts. The HammerHead 12-bolt housing features more strength and less horsepower loss than a 9-inch Ford housing. And by using a 12-bolt, the HammerHead allows a larger selection of gear ratios, posi units, and racing spools when compared to OEM style differential options.

The HammerHead 12-bolt housing comes standard in lightweight cast aluminum but is also available in nodular iron for extreme performance usage. Kits are available in three stages; from bulletproof to indestructible, and the HammerHead has been prototype tested in a 900-plus-horsepower Camaro with a 35-spline WaveTrac posi unit. Best of all, the HammerHead kit is an easy bolt-in installation, and is available with an optional carbon fiber driveshaft or WaveTrac 35-spline posi unit.

Stage 1
33-spline Eaton TrueTrac. 3.42, 3.55, 3.73, 3.90, 4.10, 4.30, 4.56, and 4.88 ratios. DSS 1000 HP Level 4 Street axles and choice of driveshaft.

Stage 2
35-spline WaveTrac posi unit with lifetime warranty (including racing). “Indestructible” nodular iron casting also available for applications over 1400 horsepower. DSS 1400HP Axles and choice of driveshaft.

Stage 3
Optional solid spool and 9310 alloy “Pro Gears” for racecars ONLY 4.11, 4.33, 4.56, 4.88, and 5.00 ratios. DSS 1400HP Axles and choice of driveshaft.
