Detroit Speed Coilover Front Conversion Kit - Base Shocks - SBC / LS (1967-1969 Camaro / Firebird / 1968-1974 Nova) - 030311DS
Bring modern coilover suspension technology to your classic GM F-Body or X-Body with the Detroit Speed 030311DS Front Coilover Conversion Kit. Designed for SBC and LS-powered applications, this direct bolt-in kit converts the stock front subframe to an integrated coilover shock and spring suspension system. Detroit Tuned valving, extensive ride-height adjustability, and application-specific springs give your classic improved suspension control and a tunable stance while maintaining excellent ride quality for street driving.
The 030311DS features base non-adjustable aluminum-body coilover shocks with Detroit Tuned valving. Instead of requiring external damping adjustments, Detroit Speed engineers the shock valving to provide a balanced combination of handling response and ride quality. This makes the base-shock package an excellent choice for enthusiasts who want the benefits of modern coilovers and adjustable ride height without the additional tuning requirements of single or double adjustable shocks.
Detroit Speed pairs the shocks with 550 pounds/inch coilover 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 tailor the front stance and suspension setup to your build. Detroit Speed quality checks and inspects its springs, engraves each with its spring rate for easy identification, and designs them to maintain their height over time.
The 030311DS is engineered 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, thrust bearings, thrust washers, mounting hardware, a Detroit Speed spanner tool, and installation instructions. Rather than piecing together unrelated suspension components, you get a complete conversion engineered to work together on the compatible GM F-Body and X-Body platforms.
Whether you're upgrading a 1967-1969 Camaro or Firebird, a 1968-1974 Nova, or another compatible X-Body application, the Detroit Speed 030311DS provides a strong foundation for a more responsive classic. Its combination of Detroit Tuned base shocks, 550 pounds/inch springs, adjustable ride height, and bolt-in installation makes it an excellent choice for street performance, restomod, and Pro-Touring builds.
