DSE QuadraLink Rear Suspension Kit - Double-Adjustable Shocks (041755-DDS) - 1960 - 1965 Ford Falcon / Mercury Comet
Replace the original leaf-spring rear suspension in your 1960-1965 Ford Falcon or Mercury Comet with a system engineered for serious handling, traction, and adjustability. Detroit Speed QUADRALink 041755-DDS uses an uncompromised parallel 4-link geometry with multiple link mounting locations, allowing the suspension's instant center and anti-squat characteristics to be tuned for the car. DSE/JRi double-adjustable aluminum-body coilover shocks add extensive damping control, while an adjustable 1.5-inch to 3-inch lowering range lets you dial in both the stance and suspension setup.
Detroit Speed's patented Swivel-Link technology combines with specially formulated high-durometer rubber bushings to deliver smooth, bind-free suspension articulation while keeping noise, vibration, and harshness under control. An adjustable Panhard bar precisely locates the rear axle during hard cornering and provides roll-center adjustment, while the included tubular rear sway bar offers two rate settings for tuning handling balance. The upper floor-pan crossmember significantly stiffens the rear body and frame section, and the complete system uses weld-on axle brackets with the stock rear axle. With double-adjustable coilovers, 175 pounds per inch springs, adjustable suspension geometry, and a comprehensive chassis package, 041755-DDS gives a performance-focused Falcon or Comet the rear suspension capability to match the rest of the build.
