DSE Rear 2 Inch Drop Springs (041813DS) - 1978 - 1988 GM G-Body
Give your 1978-1988 GM G-Body the lower, more aggressive stance it deserves while improving rear suspension performance with Detroit Speed Rear 2 Inch Drop Springs. DSE 041813DS lowers the rear approximately 2 inches from stock and replaces the soft factory coil springs with a performance-focused 125 pounds per inch spring rate. The result is a classic G-Body that sits right while gaining improved ride and handling characteristics for street driving and performance-oriented builds.
Detroit Speed engineered 041813DS specifically for the G-Body platform rather than treating lowering as an appearance-only modification. Each rear spring has a 12-inch free length and is designed to work as part of a balanced suspension setup. Detroit Speed also includes two urethane jounce bumpers that can be used for both jounce and rebound control. Sold as a pair, this spring package is an effective upgrade for enthusiasts building a sharper-handling Pro-Touring, restomod, or performance street G-Body.
