DSE Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Kit - 1-3/8 Inch (042215DS) - 2012-2015 Chevrolet Camaro
Give your fifth-gen Camaro sharper response and more control through the corners with the Detroit Speed Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Kit. Designed for 2012-2015 Chevrolet Camaro applications using the FE4, FE5, or FE6-style outboard rear sway bar mounting arrangement, part number 042215DS features a large 1-3/8 inch tubular rear bar engineered to reduce body roll and understeer. Three adjustment positions let you tune rear roll stiffness to better match your suspension setup, tires, driving style, and performance goals without sacrificing ride quality.
Detroit Speed builds the 042215DS rear sway bar from tubular steel with a 1-3/8 inch outside diameter and .188-inch wall thickness, then finishes it in gloss black powder coat for durability and a clean appearance. High-durometer greaseable polyurethane mounting bushings provide secure bar location while allowing proper suspension movement. With three available rate settings delivering progressively greater roll stiffness than the factory bar, this adjustable setup gives street-performance, autocross, and track-focused Camaro owners a straightforward way to fine-tune chassis balance.
