Default Detroit Speed Leaf Spring pocket kit.

https://www.detroitspeed.com/1967-19...ng-pocket.html


I'm curious about this kit. Is anyone using it? At what point should someone consider it? I'm using a Ridetech 4-link, would the multiple mount locations be useful. I understand basic chassis geometry, I just don't find any information about this kit or what it is designed to do.

My understanding is, under racing conditions the stock pocket was not strong enough which may cause some issues to car/suspension components, so this creates a stronger mount point.

Very nice piece. That stops ALL the problems of ripping the rail/floor.

Will work fine with the RideTech 4 link.

Thanks, that's the info I was looking for. I ordered them from Matt's Classic Bowties today along with aMoser 12-Bolt and Ridetech weld on lower brackets.
Should have my car on its own tires for the first time in 5 years.
