DSE Rear Speed Kit 1 - 3in Drop - Multi-Leaf (041634DS) - 1968-1974 Chevrolet Nova
Give your classic GM X-Body a lower stance and more capable rear suspension with the Detroit Speed Rear Speed Kit 1. Designed around a multi-leaf rear suspension, 041634DS combines a performance-oriented 175 lb/in spring rate with a 3-inch drop from factory ride height. The increased spring rate improves rear suspension control while the lower ride height gives the car a more aggressive performance stance, making this package an excellent foundation for a street, autocross, or pro-touring build.
Detroit Speed engineers its rear suspension components to work together and complement its front suspension systems for balanced handling. The leaf springs feature a 4-inch free-length arc height and 5-1/4-inch total spring height, while non-adjustable rear shocks provide matched damping without requiring manual shock tuning. Designed for use with the stock rear axle, 041634DS delivers a straightforward way to improve handling and stance while retaining the proven simplicity of a multi-leaf rear suspension.
