Detroit Speed Coilover Front Conversion Kit - Base Shocks - SBC / LS (1964-1967 GM A-Body) - 030306DS
Bring modern coilover suspension technology to your classic GM A-Body with the Detroit Speed 030306DS Front Coilover Conversion Kit. Designed for 1964-1967 GM A-Body applications with Small Block Chevrolet or LS engines, this direct bolt-in package replaces the conventional front spring and shock arrangement with an integrated coilover system. Detroit Speed combines extensive ride-height adjustability with application-specific Detroit Tuned valving to deliver improved suspension control and excellent ride quality without requiring adjustable shocks.
The 030306DS uses aluminum-body non-adjustable coilover shocks featuring Detroit Tuned valving. Rather than requiring the driver to experiment with compression or rebound settings, the base shock package uses Detroit Speed-developed valving to provide a predetermined balance of ride quality and performance. This makes the kit an excellent choice for enthusiasts who want the benefits of a modern coilover suspension and adjustable ride height without the additional setup involved with adjustable dampers.
Detroit Speed pairs the shocks with 550 pounds/inch coilover springs for this SBC/LS application. The coilover design provides extensive ride-height adjustment, allowing the stance to be dialed in while taking advantage of the matched shock and spring package. Threaded spring adjusting nuts provide the adjustment, while included thrust bearings and thrust washers help make spring adjustments easier. A Detroit Speed spanner tool is also supplied with the kit.
The 030306DS is designed as a direct bolt-in front coilover conversion and includes the necessary components for installation. The package includes two Detroit Tuned coilover shocks, two 550 pounds/inch 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. By engineering these components to work together, Detroit Speed provides a complete suspension package rather than requiring builders to piece together shocks, springs, and installation hardware separately.
For a street-driven restomod, Pro-Touring build, or classic A-Body that needs better suspension control and adjustable stance without the complexity of adjustable shock tuning, the Detroit Speed 030306DS delivers a straightforward upgrade. You get modern coilover packaging, Detroit Tuned shock valving, a matched 550 pounds/inch spring rate, and ride-height adjustability in a complete bolt-in system engineered specifically for the platform.
