DSE X-Gen 535 Front Suspension Module - Powdercoated Components - Single Adjustable Shocks (032043-SDS)
Bring proven Detroit Speed suspension technology to a custom chassis with the X-Gen 535 Front Suspension Module 032043-SDS. Designed for builders who want modern suspension geometry without being tied to a specific production chassis, the X-Gen 535 combines a compact 53.5-inch track width with 2-inch x 4-inch frame rail sections ready to be integrated into a custom application. The system uses the same core suspension technology found in Detroit Speed bolt-in front frames, giving custom street, pro-touring, restomod, and track builds a complete foundation engineered around handling, steering response, structural rigidity, and suspension control.
The 032043-SDS configuration features powdercoated components and Detroit Speed/JRi single-adjustable aluminum-body coilover shocks with Detroit Tuned valving. These shocks add rebound adjustment with the turn of a knob, giving the driver additional control over suspension response 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 the required spring rate and size vary according to the weight, configuration, and intended use of the vehicle.
