DSE Rear Speed Kit 1 - 3in Drop - Multi-Leaf (041602DS) - 1967-1969 Chevrolet Camaro / Pontiac Firebird
Drop your first-generation F-Body 3 inches while upgrading rear suspension control with the Detroit Speed Rear Speed Kit 1. Designed for 1967-1969 Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird models with a multi-leaf rear suspension, 041602DS combines a lower, more aggressive stance with an increased 175 lb/in spring rate to improve handling and give the rear suspension more controlled response than the original setup.
The package uses Detroit Speed rear leaf springs with a 4-inch spring free-length arc height and 5-1/4-inch total spring height, along with non-adjustable rear shocks for matched damping. Designed for stock axle applications, Rear Speed Kit 1 works well with Detroit Speed front suspension systems to create a more complete chassis package. For enthusiasts who want improved handling while retaining a traditional multi-leaf rear suspension, 041602DS delivers proven Detroit Speed engineering with a substantial 3-inch drop.
