Make room for serious rear tire while giving your second-generation Camaro a lower, more aggressive stance with the Detroit Speed Mini-Tub Kit 041223DS. Engineered specifically for the 1970-1981 Chevrolet Camaro, this complete rear Mini-Tub package combines wider 2.5-inch Detroit Speed tubs with matched rear suspension components and a 3-inch drop. The system provides the additional wheelhouse clearance needed for wider rear wheel and tire packages while maintaining a clean, stock-style appearance.
Detroit Speed manufactures the Mini-Tubs from stamped 18-gauge steel for a precise fit, and the tubs are made in the USA. The 041223DS package pairs them with 175 lbs/in rear leaf springs featuring a 4-inch arc height and 5-1/4-inch total spring height. Offset shackles, U-bolts, shocks, shock mounting components, and installation hardware complete a comprehensive package designed to take the guesswork out of assembling the major components for a second-generation Camaro Mini-Tub conversion.
