DSE QuadraLink Rear Suspension Kit - Stock Axle - Without Coilovers (041728DS) - 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 for the stock rear axle housing, DSE 041728DS eliminates the factory torque-arm configuration and replaces it with a performance-focused 4-link system featuring no-compromise suspension geometry and independently adjustable links. The result is a highly tunable foundation for third-generation F-Body builds where improved rear axle control and suspension performance are the priority.
Detroit Speed equips the 041728DS with its Swivel-Link technology in both the upper and lower links, allowing pinion angle and wheelbase adjustments without unbolting the links from the vehicle. The kit adds upper link mounts to the stock unibody structure and relocates the lower links on the axle using adjustable adapter brackets. The existing track bar mounting locations are retained, but the factory component is replaced by a Detroit Speed adjustable track bar with cross-axis pivot bushings. Upper link axle brackets for the stock rear housing and cut templates are included. Coilovers and the rear axle are not included, giving builders the flexibility to retain stock-style coil springs and shocks or pair the system with Detroit Speed's Rear Coilover Kit or Drop Springs.
