DSE QuadraLink Rear Suspension Kit - 3in Axle - Non-Adjustable Shocks (041722DS) - 1982 - 1992 Chevrolet Camaro / Pontiac Firebird
Transform the rear suspension of your 1982-1992 Chevrolet Camaro or Pontiac Firebird with the Detroit Speed QUADRALink Rear Suspension Kit. Designed to eliminate the factory torque-arm configuration, the QUADRALink replaces it with Detroit Speed's performance-focused suspension geometry for improved handling, rear axle control, and tunability. All suspension links are independently adjustable, while Detroit Speed Swivel-Link technology in the upper and lower links allows smooth suspension articulation for a third-generation F-Body built to perform on the street or in more demanding driving environments.
The 041722DS configuration is designed specifically for rear axle housings with 3-inch axle tubes and includes weld-on axle brackets, DSE/JRi non-adjustable coilover shocks with Detroit Tuned valving, 275 pounds per inch springs, and a Detroit Speed rear sway bar. Although the base shocks are non-adjustable, Detroit Speed engineers them to deliver the responsive damping characteristics of its performance shock line while maintaining excellent street ride quality. The kit adds upper link mounts to the stock unibody structure, relocates the lower links on the axle with adjustable adapter brackets, and uses an adjustable track bar with cross-axis pivot bushings for precise lateral axle control.
