DSE Rear Speed Kit 3 - Base Shocks - Stock Axle (041611DS) - 1964-1966 GM A-Body
Transform the rear suspension of your classic GM A-Body with the Detroit Speed Rear Speed Kit 3. Designed for 1964-1966 applications using a stock rear axle, 041611DS combines Detroit Speed's patented Swivel-Link rear control arms with rear coilover shocks and springs, chassis bracing, and a tubular rear sway bar. The complete system is engineered to maintain optimum suspension geometry and tire contact throughout the full range of rear suspension travel, giving your A-Body more precise, predictable handling without sacrificing the road manners needed for a street-driven muscle car.
Detroit Speed's patented Swivel-Links allow the rear axle housing to fully articulate without relying on noisy spherical heim joints. The Swivel-Link design also allows pinion angle and wheelbase adjustments without unbolting the links from the vehicle, making chassis setup and tuning more convenient. This 041611DS version uses non-adjustable base shocks and is engineered for the stock rear axle, providing a complete Rear Speed Kit 3 solution for enthusiasts who want Detroit Speed's advanced suspension architecture without requiring externally adjustable shocks.
