Drop the rear stance and sharpen the handling of your classic GM muscle car with the Detroit Speed 3-Inch Drop Multi-Leaf Spring Set. Part number 040102PDS combines a 3-inch drop from factory ride height with a performance-oriented 175 pounds/inch spring rate, giving your Camaro, Firebird, Nova, Omega, Ventura, or compatible X-Body a lower, more aggressive stance without sacrificing the ride quality you want on the street. Sold as a pair, these rear leaf springs are designed for both production applications and Detroit Speed Mini-Tub installations.
Detroit Speed engineered these springs for more than just a lower ride height. Each spring uses tapered leaves with anti-friction pads between the leaves to help reduce friction and promote smooth suspension movement. With a 4-inch arc height and 5.25-inch total spring height, DSE 040102PDS delivers the combination of stance, handling response, and ride quality that makes sense for street-driven and performance-focused classic GM builds.
