DSE X-Gen 535 Front Suspension Module - Powdercoated Components - Base Shocks (032043DS)
Build proven Detroit Speed suspension technology into a custom chassis with the X-Gen 535 Front Suspension Module 032043DS. Designed for builders who need a complete performance-oriented front suspension without being locked into 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. This is the same core suspension technology found in Detroit Speed bolt-in front frames, combining modern suspension geometry, precise rack-and-pinion steering, structural rigidity, and street-friendly performance in a package engineered for both road and track use.
This 032043DS configuration features powdercoated components and Detroit Speed/JRi non-adjustable aluminum-body coilover shocks with Detroit Tuned valving. The system combines 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 rates and sizes vary with vehicle weight and application, allowing the finished suspension package to be properly matched to the custom build.
