Detroit Speed Coilover Front Conversion Kit - Double Adjustable Shocks - SBC / LS (1967-1969 Camaro / Firebird / 1968-1974 Nova) - 030311-DDS
Transform the front suspension of your classic F-Body or X-Body with the Detroit Speed 030311-DDS Front Coilover Conversion Kit. Designed for SBC and LS-powered applications, this system converts the stock front subframe to modern coilover shock and spring technology while retaining a bolt-in installation. Detroit Tuned valving, extensive ride-height adjustability, and double adjustable shocks give serious street and performance builds the suspension control needed to sharpen handling while maintaining excellent ride quality.
The 030311-DDS features double adjustable coilover shocks with two independent adjustments and an extensive tuning range. This gives the driver significantly more control over shock behavior than a fixed-valving or single adjustable setup, allowing suspension response to be tailored to the car, driving style, and performance demands. Whether you're setting up a Pro-Touring street car, autocross build, or road course machine, the double adjustable configuration gives you the flexibility to fine-tune the suspension instead of settling for a one-size-fits-all setup.
Detroit Speed pairs the shocks with 550 pounds/inch springs with a 10 inch free length. The system is based around a 4 inch stroke shock and provides extensive ride-height adjustability, allowing you to dial in stance and suspension setup for your particular build. Detroit Speed's springs are quality checked and inspected, engraved with their spring rate for easy identification, and designed to maintain their height over time.
The kit combines Detroit Speed's performance-focused engineering with components designed to work together as a complete system. Lightweight aluminum coilover shocks feature a black anodized finish, while the steel coil springs use a durable powder coat finish. The kit includes the coilover shocks and springs, Torrington bearing set, spanner tool, and necessary fasteners, giving you the primary components needed to convert the factory front suspension to a modern adjustable coilover setup.
For an SBC or LS-powered 1967-1969 Camaro or Firebird, 1968-1974 Nova, or another compatible application, the Detroit Speed 030311-DDS delivers the combination enthusiasts want from a serious suspension upgrade: adjustable ride height, modern shock technology, application-specific springs, and extensive damping control. It is an ideal choice for builders looking to make their classic more responsive and tunable without giving up street manners.
