DSE Rear Coilover Conversion Kit - Base Shocks (042441DS) - 1993-2002 Chevrolet Camaro / Pontiac Firebird
Upgrade your fourth-generation F-Body with modern coilover suspension technology using the Detroit Speed Rear Coilover Conversion Kit. Part number 042441DS is engineered for 1993-2002 Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird applications with the stock rear axle. The system replaces the existing rear coil spring and shock combination with a Detroit Tuned coilover shock and spring package, giving you extensive ride-height adjustability and a suspension setup engineered to bring improved handling and ride characteristics to the classic F-Body platform.
The 042441DS package uses Detroit Speed's base non-adjustable shocks with Detroit Tuned valving, making it an excellent choice for enthusiasts who want a professionally developed shock calibration without the need for external damping adjustments. Detroit Speed pairs the shocks with 175 pounds per inch coilover springs featuring a 10 inch free length, with the overall system optimized around an approximately 1.5 inch drop from stock height. The kit includes the upper and lower rear coilover mount assemblies, coilover hardware, and Detroit Speed/JRi spanner tool needed for the conversion. Installation requires only minor drilling of the existing axle bracket. Detroit Speed specifically states that this kit cannot be used with factory trailing arms.
