Hey everyone, check out this video Detroit Speed put together going over what makes their white monster what it is!

We have been running the full DSE Speed 3 kit on our JDP Camaro for about 6 months now and have been very impressed with the quality workmanship and how the car flat out WORKS!! We took fastest time of the weekend at the Camaro5fest Camarocross, Sturgis Camaro Rally AutoCross and took home DSE's fastest 5th gen award at one of the Optima ultimate street car qualifying events over a built Z28! We're looking forward to runnning in the Ultimate street car shootout in November!

Feel free to call, PM or email us anytime with questions. We're always happy to help!

Best regards,

Tyler

Just ordered the 2012+ rear sway bar from you guys. Can't wait to get it installed! Should compliment the Pedders 27mm front bar really well. I know Pedders recommended running their 27mm front and 32mm rear bars, but figured with 275 front and 315 rear tires the 35mm would be a good match. Especially since I couldn't find a Pedders rear bar.

Awesome, thanks for the order. The DSE bar will be a good match with a staggered setup. I'd probably run one of the stiffer settings up front and the soft setting in the rear to start out and go from there. Keep us updated and let us know how it works out!

Will do. It will be a little bit before I get it all done. Doing a lot of upgrades at once. Bushings (sub frame inserts, rear LCA, rear UCA, rear trailing arms) already did radius rod inserts, rear FE4 conversion, sways, springs, headers, exhaust, and tune. She's gonna be a completely different car! Gonna run Texas World Speedway a few times before it closes next spring/summer.

Very nice! Sounds like a good setup! Let me know if you have any questions or if I can help out at all.

It all depends on the materials, wall thickness (tubular), heat treating, etc.; just because it's bigger doesn't mean it necessarily offers more roll resistance.

That is what I was thinking as well. I had thought about doing the Hotchkis 32mm rear tubular bar, but figured the DSE 35mm would be closer to the Pedders 32mm solid bar and with both being adjustable I can get it where I need it to be.

I'd love to get that DSE setup, but holy $#!+ that stuff is expensive...

Thanks for the info 130R! Really looking forward to seeing how this setup performs!
