Hydroformed Subframe Detroit Speed's front subframe is a bolt-in replacement for the original stock subrame. It improves the handling and ride quality by utilizing Detroit Speed's unique suspension geometry. It is the ONLY subframe in the aftermarket industry with hydroformed frame rails. This is the subframe that supports the 1969 Camaro Test Car and the 1970 Camaro Test Car that have won multiple autocross trophies last year. The hydroformed frame rails feature strength and stiffness, precise quality, and repeatability. Hydroforming preserves the steel's strength processes which decrease material strength. The subframe comes complete with the following components: *Tubular upper and lower control arms *Coilover shocks and springs *Power rack and pinion steering *Splined sway bar * C6 Corvette upright NOTE: Subframe must ship freight. Up to a 10" wide sheel can be packaged without modification to the inner wheel wells. Both the main and secondary crossmembers are stamped for structural rigidity.

QUADRAlink Rear Suspension Kit This is a great way to upgrade from your original leaf spring rear suspension. Unlike our competitors, DES's exclusive 4-link geometry design is uncompromised to acheive the best possible handling. The DSE "Swivel-Link" (Partented) allows the suspension to fully articulate with smooth solid motion and no binding. The best feature is that this is achieved without heim joints. Heim joints are noisy and prome to short-term life. The DSE QUADAlink utilizes tuned high-durometer rubber bushings (in place of heim joints or squeaky urethane busdhings). The long upper links provide great pinion and U-joint angle control. Contrary to competitors kits, our kit utilizes a panhard rod that provides precise and effective rear axle lateral location during hard cornering. The panhard rod is adjustable as ride height changes for roll center control. The rear upper shock crossmember strengthens the rear body and frame section. Dont settle for anything less than Detroit speed's QUADRAlink rear suspension.
