Detroit Speed Rear Speed 2 Kits 041608DS

Detroit Speed's Rear Speed 2 Kit, part 041608DS, is a rear suspension package meant to pair with a matching Detroit Speed front suspension on a classic from the 1960s, '70s, or '80s. It raises spring rate for sharper handling, and Detroit Speed offers the line with more than one ride-height drop, so confirm this part number against the drop wanted before ordering.

What ships in the box

The kit centers on a pair of gas-charged monotube rear shocks, a 1.125 in. tubular sway bar finished in black powdercoat, and single-adjustable trailing arms on both the upper and lower rear links, held with trailing arm mount braces. Bushings throughout are black rubber.

Coilover springs are not part of this particular kit, and neither is a third member, axle shafts, control arms, air bags, a Watts link, a Panhard bar, rotors, or calipers. Everything named above is sold as one kit rather than as separate pieces.

Who it suits

Shoppers already running, or planning to run, a Detroit Speed front end on a 1960s-80s muscle car or classic, who want the rear suspension to match that geometry and ride character. Since the kit is built around Detroit Speed's own front-suspension layout, treat it as a companion piece rather than something to bolt to an unrelated front system, and add springs separately, since none ship with this part number.
