2010 Camaro With DSE Performance Handling Kit

Anybody ever used DSE ? Seems that Rick Hendrick has joined up with DSE and developed this handling kit

I can tell you from what is said about DSE.
They are one of THE BEST, if not, THE BEST when it comes to suspension for the early model Camaros. I belong to a couple of different forums where most of the guys run their stuff and they LOVE IT!!
There are a little pricey, but you get what you pay for. I know they are doing a 2010 Camaro and that is what you are asking about here.
I wouldn't hesitate to give them a call or use their products. I hear they are nice people and answer your questions fully. I actually plan on using their stuff for my '69 Camaro when I get one. Their sub frames are hydro-formed. No one else does that.
Anyways, hope this helps. GOOD LUCK & enjoy!!!

Check out Global West as well. We run the complete Global West Set-up on our 2nd Gen and it handles as well as a C5 Vette.

2007 SEMA show accross from GM with the New Camaro in the back ground!! The car is sitting to high in these pics, Eibach SB springs with BB? We got it straightened out though with some Pfadt Coil Overs up front.

Nobody knows Camaro suspension better than DSE! Kile and Stacey, the owners, were suspension engineers for Chevrolet when they left to start DSE. Go on their website to see all the people there building cars for. http://www.detroitspeed.com/ I've have one on order now. Here's a link to an event this weekend where DSE suspension paid off. They drive a blue 69' and a blue 70' Camaro http://www.pro-touring.com/forum/showthread.php?t=57169
I can't wait till their suspenion comes in.

I'll second everything everyone has said about DSE, I put one of their hydro-formed sybframes with a coil-over conversion on my '67 and can't wait to get her back from Prodigy customs in Florida to see how she will compare to my 2010 (if I ever see either of them again...)

The company is amazing and their products have a huge and loyal following, and the owners Kyle and Stacey are VERY nice, genuine people!

VERY COOL!!!
Frank @ Prodigy is a great guy and will take care of you. As far as the handling of your '67 to your 2010, I bet the '67 handles A LOT better!
ENJOY!!

We have a DSE kit on the way and will be putting it on our 2010 project car. There will before and after testing, so we will see what it does.

Knowing DSE it should do well.

I'd do a DSE Front subframe and a Lateral Dynamics Rear. I just think the 3-link is superior in design to a 4-link. That having been said, DSE makes AMAZING stuff and does absolutely stellar work.

Yeah, there is a lot of debate between the 3 and 4 link suspension. But with DSE,...how can you go wrong?!?! lol
My avatar is a pic off of lateral-g.net. I believe the car belongs to a guy named Vance that lives in NC. Car is bad looking. I wish it were mine!!

I agree. Funny enough, I'm on Lateral-G right now. It's like porn.....without the judgment.
