DSE Mini Tub Spring Kit - 3in Drop (041234DS) - 1970-1981 Chevy Camaro
Give your second-generation Camaro a lower stance, more rear tire clearance, and a suspension package engineered for real performance with the Detroit Speed Mini Tub Spring Kit. Designed for 1970-1981 Chevrolet Camaro applications, 041234DS combines 175 lbs/in leaf springs with the supporting suspension components needed for a Mini-Tub setup. The springs lower the Camaro 3 inches from factory ride height while maintaining the ride quality needed for a street-driven performance car. Pair the kit with available Detroit Speed Mini-Tubs and you can accommodate rear tires up to 335mm wide.
Detroit Speed builds these leaf springs with a tapered-leaf design and anti-friction pads between each leaf to promote smooth suspension movement while delivering responsive handling. The package includes leaf springs, offset shackles, U-bolts, shocks, shock mounts, and mounting hardware, making it an excellent choice for a Camaro that already has DSE Mini-Tubs installed or a build where the tubs are being purchased separately. A narrowed fuel tank is required, with several Detroit Speed tank configurations available based on model year and fuel-system requirements.
