DSE Mini-Tub Kit - 3in Drop (041206DS) - 1968-1969 Chevrolet Camaro / Pontiac Firebird
Build your 1968-1969 Camaro or Firebird for serious rear tire clearance and a more aggressive stance with the Detroit Speed Mini-Tub Kit. Part number 041206DS combines Detroit Speed Mini-Tubs with a matched 3-inch drop rear suspension package, giving you the major components required to complete the conversion without piecing the system together one part at a time. With 2.75-inch wider Mini-Tubs, relocated leaf springs, and purpose-matched suspension components, this package is built for enthusiasts who want more room for rear tire while upgrading the stance and performance of their first-generation F-Body.
The included Detroit Speed rear leaf springs feature a 175 lbs/in spring rate, 4-inch arc height, and 3-inch drop. Offset shackles relocate the leaf springs inward to take advantage of the increased wheelhouse clearance, while adjustable leaf spring pads, Mini-Tub shocks, a rear upper shock crossmember, lower shock plates, urethane bushings, U-bolts, and mounting hardware complete the suspension package. A narrowed fuel tank is required for installation and is available separately.
