DSE QuadraLink Rear Suspension Kit - Non-Adjustable Shocks (041711DS) - 1970 - 1981 Chevrolet Camaro
Give your 1970-1981 Chevrolet Camaro a major rear suspension upgrade with the Detroit Speed QUADRALink Rear Suspension Kit. Engineered to replace the original leaf spring suspension, the QUADRALink uses Detroit Speed's exclusive 4-link geometry to improve handling, rear axle control, ride quality, and suspension articulation. Detroit Speed's patented Swivel-Link technology allows the suspension to articulate smoothly without binding, while tuned high-durometer rubber bushings provide quiet, durable operation without the wear and noise associated with heim joints.
The 041711DS configuration includes DSE/JRi aluminum-body non-adjustable coilover shocks with Detroit Tuned valving, delivering performance-focused damping without requiring external shock adjustments. Long upper links provide excellent pinion and U-joint angle control, while improved anti-squat geometry helps keep the rear suspension composed under acceleration. A long adjustable panhard rod precisely locates the rear axle laterally during hard cornering and provides roll center control as ride height changes. The rear upper shock crossmember strengthens the rear body and frame section, while the lower links are offset inboard to provide additional tire clearance.
