DSE Rear Speed Kit 2 (041610DS) - 1973-1977 GM A-Body
Bring modern suspension control to your 1973-1977 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, 041610DS combines Detroit Speed's patented Swivel-Link technology with matched rear springs, shock absorbers, and a tubular rear sway bar. The integrated system gives your classic A-Body a more controlled, predictable rear suspension with the articulation and cornering capability needed for serious street performance.
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, making suspension setup and tuning more convenient. A chassis-mounted tubular rear sway bar provides a substantial improvement in cornering ability, while 150 lb/in rear springs with a 15.75-inch free length and matched non-adjustable shock absorbers complete the package. Rear Speed Kit 2 is engineered to complement Detroit Speed front suspension systems for balanced handling and ride quality from end to end.
