This is what led The Driveshaft Shop and Hammerhead housings to partner together and build the Hammerhead, a 12 bolt independent rear suspension(IRS) for late model vehicles. “We’ve partnered together with skip lee from Hammerhead development, and he came up with a casting on a IRS that basically holds a 12 bolt center section for the modern muscle cars.” Explained owner of the Driveshaft Shop Frank Rehak.
“Frank and I have decided to offer this as a complete kit, for one stop shopping,” Hammerhead Housings Skip lee told us. “It would be a one day installation with any shop with a hoist.”
The Chevy Camaro Hammerhead IRS which they had on display at the show, will come available in three stages:
Bulletproof stage 1
- 33 spline Eaton TrueTrac for normally aspirated cars. 3.42, 3.55, 3.73, 3.90, 4.10, 4.30, 4.56, and 4.88 ratios.
Bulletproof stage 2
- Optional 35 spline WaveTrac with lifetime warranty for supercharged and manual transmission applications.

The Driveshaft Shop also showed us their new carbon fiber driveshaft that weighs less than 15 pounds. “We’ve perform extensive testing on not just our carbon fiber driveshafts but on every one we offer. Explained Frank. “We test our driveshafts on our 9500RPM Speed Balancer to be able to not only bring the Carbon shafts into production, but also make sure they are the best balanced and manufactured shafts available.”
