Mini-Tub Kit - 68-74 Nova 2in Drop

The Mini-Tub Kit - 68-74 Nova 2in Drop from Detroit Speed Engineering is designed for classic Chevy Nova owners who are making significant chassis modifications and upgrading their wheels. This kit addresses a common issue faced when lowering second-generation Novas: rear wheel tub clearance. It allows for the installation of wider tires and modern suspension systems without compromising the vehicle's structural integrity.

The mini-tub modification provides the necessary inner fender clearance by using precision-formed steel components that reinforce and reshape the rear wheel wells. This design maintains factory-style proportions and durability while allowing for a 2-inch drop in suspension height. The kit includes all essential brackets, reinforcement panels, and hardware for installation, typically requiring no welding, making it accessible for shops with intermediate fabrication skills.

Restorers and performance builders working on 1968–1974 Novas will find this kit invaluable when combining a 2-inch drop suspension with wider wheel widths. It ensures that clearance is maintained during full suspension articulation, accommodating various setups without interference. This makes it an essential upgrade for those looking to enhance both performance and aesthetics in their classic Nova.
