DSE X-Gen 535 Front Suspension Module - Powdercoated Components - Double Adjustable Shocks (032043-DDS)
Bring Detroit Speed suspension technology to a custom chassis project with the X-Gen 535 Front Suspension Module 032043-DDS. Designed for builders who want a complete performance-oriented front suspension system without being tied to a specific factory chassis, the X-Gen 535 provides a 53.5-inch track width and 2-inch x 4-inch frame rail sections ready to be integrated into a custom application. The suspension architecture is based on the same technology used in Detroit Speed bolt-in front frames, giving custom builds a proven combination of modern suspension geometry, precise steering, structural rigidity, and serious road and track capability.
This 032043-DDS configuration features powdercoated components and Detroit Speed/JRi double-adjustable aluminum-body coilover shocks with Detroit Tuned valving. Two independent shock adjustments provide an extensive tuning range, allowing the suspension response to be dialed in for the driver, vehicle setup, and intended use while retaining excellent street ride quality. The module also incorporates OEM-quality stamped crossmembers, tubular upper and lower control arms, Torrington bearings, Detroit Tuned power rack-and-pinion steering, caster tuner bushings for independent caster and camber adjustment, and an integrated splined sway bar. Coilover springs are not included because spring rate and size must be selected for the specific vehicle application.
