DSE QuadraLink Rear Suspension Kit - Single-Adjustable Shocks (041711-SADS) - 1970 - 1981 Chevrolet Camaro
Upgrade your 1970-1981 Chevrolet Camaro from its original leaf spring suspension with the Detroit Speed QUADRALink Rear Suspension Kit. Engineered around Detroit Speed's exclusive 4-link geometry, the QUADRALink is designed to deliver modern handling, improved rear axle control, excellent ride quality, and smooth suspension articulation. Detroit Speed's patented Swivel-Link technology allows the suspension links to pivot and articulate without binding, while tuned high-durometer rubber bushings avoid the noise, wear, and binding associated with heim-joint designs.
The 041711-SADS configuration adds DSE/JRi aluminum-body single-adjustable coilover shocks with Detroit Tuned valving, giving drivers additional control over suspension response while maintaining excellent street manners. The single-adjustable shocks provide rebound adjustment through an installed knob for convenient tuning. Long suspension links provide excellent pinion and U-joint angle control, while the long adjustable track bar precisely locates the rear axle laterally during hard cornering and provides roll center adjustment at different ride heights. The system combines modern coilover performance with Detroit Speed's proven QUADRALink geometry for a substantial improvement in the way a second-generation Camaro rides and handles.
