DSE Rear Sway Bar Kit - 1 Inch - Stock Axle (042219DS) - 1982-2002 Chevrolet Camaro / Pontiac Firebird
Put more control into your third- or fourth-gen F-Body with the Detroit Speed Rear Sway Bar Kit. Designed for 1982-2002 Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird models retaining the stock rear axle, part number 042219DS replaces the factory rear bar with a 1 inch outside-diameter tubular sway bar engineered to improve rear roll control and give you more freedom to tune the car's handling balance. Detroit Speed considers this bar well suited to most street applications, making it a strong choice for enthusiasts who want sharper cornering response without turning their F-Body into a dedicated track car.
The 042219DS combines tubular construction with dual-rate adjustment, allowing you to change rear roll stiffness through two end-link mounting positions. Detroit Speed specifies a 620 pounds per inch rate at the front hole and a 784 pounds per inch rate at the rear hole, with the rearward hole recommended as the starting position. High-gloss black powder coating protects the bar, while polyurethane bushings and split lock collars provide secure mounting and positive bar location. Detroit Speed bends its sway bars in-house for direct control over manufacturing quality.
