DSE Mini Tub Spring Kit - 2in Drop (041233DS) - 1970-1981 Chevy Camaro
Give your second-generation Camaro the stance, tire clearance, and rear suspension performance it deserves with the Detroit Speed Mini Tub Spring Kit. Designed specifically for 1970-1981 Chevrolet Camaro applications, this package combines 175 lbs/in leaf springs with the components needed to support a Mini-Tub rear suspension setup. The springs lower the Camaro 2 inches from factory ride height while delivering the handling response Detroit Speed engineered into the system without sacrificing street-friendly ride quality. When paired with available Detroit Speed Mini-Tubs, the setup can accommodate rear tires up to 335mm wide.
The leaf springs use a tapered-leaf design with anti-friction pads between the leaves to promote smooth suspension movement and ride quality. The 041233DS package includes the leaf springs, offset shackles, U-bolts, shocks, shock mounts, and mounting hardware, making it an ideal choice for a Camaro that already has Detroit Speed Mini-Tubs installed or for a build where the Mini-Tubs will be purchased separately. A narrowed fuel tank is required, with multiple Detroit Speed tank options available depending on Camaro model year and fuel system configuration.
