Detroit Speed Mini-Tub Kit - 2in Drop (041222DS) - 1970-1981 Chevrolet Camaro
Get serious rear tire clearance without sacrificing the clean factory character of your second-generation Camaro with the Detroit Speed Mini-Tub Kit 041222DS. Engineered specifically for the 1970-1981 Chevrolet Camaro, this complete rear Mini-Tub package replaces the restrictive factory wheel tubs with wider 2.5-inch Detroit Speed tubs while combining the conversion with matched rear suspension components. The additional room opens the door for wider rear wheel and tire packages, while the included 2-inch-drop leaf springs give the Camaro a lower, more aggressive stance.
Detroit Speed engineers its Mini-Tubs for a precise fit and stock-style appearance. The tubs are stamped from 18-gauge steel and manufactured in the USA. The 041222DS package combines them with 175 lbs/in rear leaf springs, offset shackles, U-bolts, shocks, shock mounting components, and installation hardware to provide a comprehensive solution instead of forcing builders to piece together the major components separately. A narrowed fuel tank is required with this Mini-Tub Kit and should be included in the planning for the conversion.
