DSE QuadraLink Rear Suspension Kit - No Axle Brackets - Remote-Reservoir Double-Adjustable Shocks (041712-RDS) - 1970 - 1981 Chevrolet Camaro
Take the rear suspension of your 1970-1981 Chevrolet Camaro to a serious performance level with the Detroit Speed QUADRALink Rear Suspension Kit. Designed to replace the original leaf spring suspension, the QUADRALink uses Detroit Speed's exclusive 4-link geometry to deliver improved handling, precise rear axle control, excellent ride quality, and smooth suspension articulation. Detroit Speed's patented Swivel-Link technology allows the suspension to articulate without binding, while tuned high-durometer rubber bushings provide quiet, durable operation without relying on heim joints.
The 041712-RDS configuration combines 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, giving performance-focused Camaro builds an advanced level of suspension tuning. Billet aluminum mounts securely position the remote shock canisters on the vehicle. Long upper links provide excellent pinion and U-joint angle control, improved anti-squat geometry helps manage rear suspension behavior under acceleration, and the long adjustable panhard rod provides precise lateral axle location during hard cornering. This version is supplied without axle brackets for applications using a complete rear-end assembly.
