Detroit Speed Coilover Front Conversion Kit - Single Adjustable Shocks - BBC (1964-1967 GM A-Body) - 030307-SDS
Bring modern coilover performance and driver-adjustable suspension tuning to your big-block classic with the Detroit Speed 030307-SDS Front Coilover Conversion Kit. Engineered specifically for 1964-1967 GM A-Body applications with Big Block Chevrolet 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, application-specific Detroit Tuned valving, and adjustable rebound damping to give your classic improved suspension control without sacrificing street ride quality.
The 030307-SDS features single adjustable aluminum-body coilover shocks with Detroit Tuned valving. Building on the performance of Detroit Speed's base shock, the single adjustable version adds external rebound adjustment with the simple turn of a knob. This allows you to fine-tune shock response to suit vehicle setup, road conditions, and driving style while retaining the street-friendly ride quality engineered into the Detroit Tuned valving.
Detroit Speed pairs the shocks with 650 pounds/inch coilover springs with a 9.5 inch free length for the Big Block Chevrolet application. The threaded coilover design provides extensive ride-height adjustability, allowing you to dial in front stance while maintaining a matched shock and spring combination. Included thrust bearings and thrust washers help make spring adjustments easier, and Detroit Speed supplies a dedicated spanner tool for convenient coilover adjustment.
The 030307-SDS is engineered as a direct bolt-in front coilover conversion and includes the components required for installation. The package includes two Detroit Tuned coilover shocks, two 650 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. Rather than piecing together shocks, springs, and mounting components from different sources, you get a complete system designed to work together on the 1964-1967 GM A-Body platform.
For a big-block Chevelle, GTO, Skylark, Cutlass, or other compatible A-Body that needs more tuning capability than a fixed-valving shock without moving to a double adjustable setup, the Detroit Speed 030307-SDS hits an excellent middle ground. Its BBC-specific spring rate, extensive ride-height adjustment, Detroit Tuned valving, and easy rebound adjustment make it a strong choice for street performance, restomod, and Pro-Touring builds.
