Detroit Speed Coilover Front Conversion Kit - Single Adjustable Shocks - SBC / LS (1964-1967 GM A-Body) - 030306-SDS
Upgrade your classic GM A-Body with modern coilover performance and driver-adjustable damping using the Detroit Speed 030306-SDS Front Coilover Conversion Kit. Engineered for 1964-1967 GM A-Body applications with Small Block Chevrolet or LS engines, this direct bolt-in system combines extensive ride-height adjustability with Detroit Tuned valving and single adjustable shocks. It is an ideal step up from the base coilover package for enthusiasts who want the ability to fine-tune suspension response without moving to a more complex double adjustable setup.
The 030306-SDS features single adjustable aluminum-body coilover shocks with Detroit Tuned valving. In addition to Detroit Speed's base shock calibration, an external adjustment knob allows the driver to tune rebound damping. A simple turn of the knob lets you tailor shock response to the car, road conditions, and driving style while retaining the excellent street ride quality engineered into the system.
Detroit Speed pairs the shocks with 550 pounds/inch coilover springs with a 9.5 inch free length for SBC and LS applications. The threaded coilover design provides extensive ride-height adjustability, allowing you to fine-tune stance along with suspension performance. Included thrust bearings and thrust washers help make spring adjustments easier, and Detroit Speed supplies a dedicated spanner tool for making the necessary coilover adjustments.
The 030306-SDS is engineered as a direct bolt-in front coilover conversion and includes the components required to complete the installation. The package includes two Detroit Tuned coilover shocks, two coilover springs, spring adjusting nuts, polyurethane upper and lower shock bushings, aluminum spacers, thrust bearings, thrust washers, mounting hardware, and the Detroit Speed spanner tool. Instead of piecing together shocks, springs, and installation hardware from different sources, you get an integrated system engineered to work together on the GM A-Body platform.
For a street-driven restomod, Pro-Touring build, or performance-focused A-Body that needs more suspension tuning capability, the Detroit Speed 030306-SDS delivers an excellent balance between simplicity and adjustability. You get the ride-height flexibility of a modern coilover, Detroit Speed's proven valving, an application-specific spring rate, and user-adjustable rebound damping in a complete package designed specifically for your classic GM.
