DSE Rear Speed Kit 2 (041609DS) - 1967 GM A-Body
Bring modern rear suspension control to your 1967 GM A-Body with the Detroit Speed Rear Speed Kit 2. Engineered to maintain optimum suspension geometry and tire contact throughout the full range of rear suspension travel, 041609DS combines Detroit Speed's patented Swivel-Link technology with matched springs, shock absorbers, and a tubular rear anti-roll bar. The result is a more responsive, predictable rear suspension designed to sharpen cornering performance while maintaining the ride quality expected from a well-engineered street performance package.
Detroit Speed's patented Swivel-Links allow the rear axle housing to fully articulate without relying on noisy spherical heim joints. The design also allows pinion angle and wheelbase adjustments without unbolting the links from the vehicle. A chassis-mounted tubular rear anti-roll bar provides a substantial improvement in cornering ability, while the 150 lb/in springs with a 14.5-inch free length work with the matched shock absorbers as an integrated system. Rear Speed Kit 2 is engineered to complement Detroit Speed front Speed Kits for balanced front-to-rear handling performance.
