DSE Rear Coilover Conversion Kit - Double Adjustable Shocks (042432-DDS) - 2016-Present Chevrolet Camaro
Put serious rear suspension adjustability under your sixth-generation Camaro with the Detroit Speed Rear Coilover Conversion Kit. Part number 042432-DDS is a direct bolt-on assembly engineered for 2016-present Chevrolet Camaro applications and completely replaces the factory rear strut assembly. Detroit Speed combines its high-performance coilover design with Detroit Speed/JRi all-aluminum shocks, Detroit Tuned valving, double-adjustable damping, and adjustable ride height to give performance-minded Camaro owners far more control over rear suspension setup.
Detroit Speed equips 042432-DDS with 500 pounds per inch coilover springs featuring a 10 inch free length. The kit also includes helper springs and stacked spring dividers for cars running a low ride height. Detroit Speed states that the system can lower the factory ride height by 1-1/2 inches or more. When lowering the Camaro by that amount, the supplied helper springs and spring dividers are recommended to help maintain spring preload when the suspension reaches full droop. For drops of 1 inch or less, Detroit Speed states that the helper springs and spring dividers are not necessary.
