DSE Rear Speed Kit 1 - 2in Drop - Multi-Leaf (041633DS) - 1968-1974 Chevrolet Nova
Upgrade the rear suspension of your classic GM X-Body with the Detroit Speed Rear Speed Kit 1. Designed around a multi-leaf rear suspension, 041633DS combines an increased 175 lb/in spring rate with a 2-inch drop from factory ride height for improved handling and a lower, more aggressive stance. The matched suspension package is a smart choice for street and performance builds that need better rear suspension control without abandoning the proven leaf spring layout.
Detroit Speed engineers its rear suspension components to work together and complement its front suspension systems for balanced vehicle performance. The rear leaf springs feature a 5-inch free-length arc height and 6-1/4-inch total spring height, while non-adjustable rear shocks provide straightforward damping without requiring manual shock tuning. Designed for use with the stock rear axle, 041633DS gives classic X-Body owners a well-matched combination of improved spring control, lower ride height, and proven Detroit Speed suspension engineering.
