DSE Rear Speed Kit 1 - 2in Drop - Multi-Leaf (041601DS) - 1967-1969 Chevrolet Camaro / Pontiac Firebird
Give your first-generation F-Body better rear suspension control and a more aggressive stance with the Detroit Speed Rear Speed Kit 1. Designed for 1967-1969 Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird models with a multi-leaf rear suspension, 041601DS combines an increased spring rate with a 2-inch drop from factory ride height. The result is a rear suspension package engineered to improve handling while lowering the car for a more performance-focused stance.
At the heart of the package are Detroit Speed rear leaf springs with a 175 lb/in spring rate, 5-inch spring free-length arc height, and 6-1/4-inch total spring height. The kit is designed for stock axle applications and uses non-adjustable rear shocks, providing a matched rear suspension package that works well with Detroit Speed front suspension systems. For builders looking to upgrade a classic Camaro or Firebird without moving away from a traditional multi-leaf suspension layout, 041601DS delivers a straightforward combination of improved spring control, matched components, and a 2-inch lowered ride height.
