DSE QuadraLink Rear Suspension Kit - No Axle Brackets - Remote-Reservoir Double-Adjustable Shocks (041705-RDS) - 1967 - 1969 Chevrolet Camaro / Pontiac Firebird
Take the rear suspension of your 1967-1969 Chevrolet Camaro or Pontiac Firebird well beyond the limitations of the original leaf spring setup with the Detroit Speed QUADRALink Rear Suspension Kit. Detroit Speed engineered its exclusive 4-link geometry to deliver serious handling performance without sacrificing ride quality, while the patented Swivel-Link system allows the suspension to articulate smoothly without binding. Tuned high-durometer rubber bushings eliminate the need for heim joints, providing the controlled suspension movement performance builds demand without introducing the noise and wear associated with heim-joint designs.
The 041705-RDS configuration pairs the QUADRALink with DSE/JRi aluminum-body double-adjustable remote-reservoir coilover shocks featuring Detroit Tuned valving. These shocks incorporate a gas-charged bladder to provide high-frequency and low-speed damping control, adding another level of suspension tuning for demanding street and performance applications. Billet aluminum mounts secure the remote shock canisters to the vehicle. Long upper links provide excellent pinion and U-joint angle control, improved anti-squat geometry helps manage the rear suspension under acceleration, and the adjustable long panhard rod provides precise lateral axle location during hard cornering. This version is supplied without axle brackets and is intended for applications using a complete rear-end assembly.
