DSE Rear Coilover Conversion Kit - Single Adjustable Shocks - Stock Axle (042406-SDS) - 1967 GM A-Body
Bring modern coilover performance and useful shock tuning to your 1967 GM A-Body with the Detroit Speed Rear Coilover Conversion Kit. Designed specifically for 1967 GM A-Body applications using the stock rear axle, part number 042406-SDS replaces the original separate rear coil spring and shock arrangement with an integrated Detroit Tuned coilover shock and spring package. The conversion gives you extensive rear ride-height adjustment while adding the suspension control and tunability that can transform the way a classic A-Body feels on the street or when driven hard.
The 042406-SDS package uses Detroit Speed single-adjustable coilover shocks, giving you the ability to fine-tune rebound characteristics to better match your driving style and vehicle setup. Detroit Speed pairs the shocks with 175 pounds per inch coilover springs and supplies the application-specific upper and lower mounting components needed for the conversion. The complete system bolts onto the vehicle without requiring a welded-in coilover conversion, making it a well-engineered upgrade for street-performance, pro-touring, autocross, and other handling-focused 1967 A-Body builds.

FAQs
What can be adjusted on the Detroit Speed 042406-SDS shocks?
The single-adjustable shocks allow the rebound characteristics to be fine-tuned. This lets you adjust the shock response to better suit the vehicle setup, driving style, and intended use while retaining Detroit Speed's engineered shock package.
How does 042406-SDS differ from 042406DS?
Both kits are designed for 1967 GM A-Body applications with the stock rear axle and provide coilover ride-height adjustment. The 042406DS uses Detroit Speed's base non-adjustable shocks, while 042406-SDS adds adjustable rebound damping for additional suspension tuning.
Does Detroit Speed 042406-SDS require welding?
No. Detroit Speed designed the A-Body Rear Coilover Conversion Kit as a complete bolt-on package. It includes the application-specific upper and lower mounting components, spacers, shocks, springs, and other components required for the conversion.
