DSE Rear Speed Kit 1 - Double Adjustable Shocks (041645-DDS) - 1979-1993 Ford Mustang / 1979-1986 Mercury Capri
Transform the rear suspension of your Fox Body with the Detroit Speed Rear Speed Kit 1. Designed for 1979-1993 Ford Mustang and 1979-1986 Mercury Capri applications, 041645-DDS combines Detroit Speed's Rear Coilover Conversion and Swivel-Link suspension systems with double adjustable shocks. This integrated package moves the springs and shocks from the factory lower control arm arrangement to the frame rails, creating a stronger mounting configuration while increasing wheel and tire clearance and bringing modern coilover performance and ride-height adjustability to the Fox Body chassis.
The included double adjustable shocks provide two independent adjustments and a wide tuning range, allowing suspension response to be tailored to the driver and performance demands while maintaining excellent street ride quality. Detroit Speed's Swivel-Links replace the factory links with stronger bolt-on components engineered to eliminate suspension bind and allow full rear suspension articulation without noisy spherical rod ends. Wheelbase and pinion angle can be adjusted without unbolting the Swivel-Links, helping improve traction and reduce driveline vibration while making suspension setup easier.

Fitment Notes
Detroit Speed 041645-DDS is designed for the stock axle configuration on the compatible Fox Body applications listed below. The coilover conversion relocates the springs from the lower control arms to the frame rails and is required for the Swivel-Link system because the Swivel-Links do not incorporate factory-style spring perches. Custom exhaust clearance up to 3 inches is possible depending on tire and mini-tub width, and fuel tank modification may be required with some combinations.
