DSE Rear Coilover Conversion Kit - Base Shocks - Stock Axle (042406DS) - 1967 GM A-Body
Bring modern coilover suspension technology 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 042406DS replaces the factory separate rear coil spring and shock arrangement with an integrated Detroit Tuned coilover shock and spring package. The conversion provides extensive rear ride-height adjustment while giving your classic muscle car a performance-focused suspension foundation engineered for improved handling and ride quality.
The 042406DS package uses Detroit Speed's base non-adjustable shocks with Detroit Tuned valving, making it an excellent choice for enthusiasts who want an engineered shock calibration without the additional complexity of external damping adjustments. Detroit Speed pairs the shocks with 175 pounds per inch coilover springs measuring 11 inches in free length. Application-specific upper and lower mounting components, spacers, hardware, and a Detroit Speed/JRi spanner tool complete a bolt-on system engineered specifically for the 1967 A-Body chassis and stock rear axle.
