Dse Quadra-Link Rear Suspension
Don't let the hopes of ever having your second-gen Camaro handle slide away. Detroit Speed & Engineering has now made it possible to have an exclusively designed rear suspension kit. DSE has intergraded its "swivel-link" technology into the kit, which will allow the suspension to fully articulate with a smooth, solid motion and no binding.
Precise and effective rear axle lateral location during hard cornering is provided by a Panhard bar. To eliminate Heim joints and/or squeaks, DSE has also utilized its tuned durometer rubber bushings. This entire kit comes complete with the aluminum body coilover adjustable shocks and springs. This Quadra-Link can also be ordered with a rear axlehousing or complete rear axle with differential and the brackets prewelded on the housing.

Powr-Flo Jet Carb Spacer
More air is always better. Case in point: Jet's Powr-Flo spacer, which is designed to increase the velocity of air flow to the manifold. More air with more velocity means a denser air charge, ultimately improving throttle response. Power gains are also made and overall fuel efficiency is improved as well. This setup is quick and painless-bolt-on simple power.
