Detroit Speed Mini-Tub Kit - 2in Drop (041207DS) - 1968-1974 Nova / Apollo / Omega / Ventura
Put more tire under your classic GM X-Body and upgrade the rear suspension at the same time with the Detroit Speed Mini-Tub Kit 041207DS. Designed as a complete rear mini-tub package, this system combines wider mini-tubs with Detroit Speed leaf springs, offset shackles, shocks, shock mounting components, and the supporting hardware needed for the conversion. The result is a coordinated package engineered for builders who want additional rear tire clearance, improved stance, and a 2-inch drop without piecing together the major components individually.
The 041207DS package uses 2.75-inch-wide mini-tubs and 175 lbs/in rear leaf springs with a 5-inch arc height and 6-1/4-inch total spring height. Detroit Speed packages the suspension and mini-tub components together so they are designed to work as a system. A narrowed fuel tank is required when installing this Mini-Tub Kit, making fuel tank clearance an important part of planning the conversion.
