Lower the rear of your classic GM muscle car while improving handling without giving up the ride quality you want on the street with the Detroit Speed 2-Inch Drop Multi-Leaf Spring Set. Part number 040101PDS combines a 2-inch drop from factory ride height with a performance-oriented 175 pounds/inch spring rate, giving your Camaro, Firebird, Nova, Omega, Ventura, and compatible X-Body application a lower stance and more controlled rear suspension response. Sold as a matched pair, these springs are designed for both production applications and Detroit Speed Mini-Tub installations.
Detroit Speed goes beyond simply increasing spring rate. Each multi-leaf spring uses tapered leaves with anti-friction pads positioned between the leaves to reduce friction and help maintain smooth suspension movement and ride quality.
