DSE Coilover Front Conversion Kit - Base Shocks - BBC (1967 - 1969 Chevrolet Camaro / Pontiac Firebird / 1968 - 1974 Chevrolet Nova) 030312DS
Bring modern coilover performance to the front suspension of your big block classic GM with the Detroit Speed Coilover Front Conversion Kit 030312DS. Designed for BBC-powered applications, this direct bolt-in system converts the stock front subframe to a coilover shock and spring setup, giving your Camaro, Firebird, Nova, or related GM X-Body improved suspension control along with extensive ride height adjustability. Detroit Speed's engineered package takes the guesswork out of piecing together a coilover conversion while giving you the adjustability needed to dial in the stance and suspension setup for your build.
The 030312DS kit uses aluminum-body base shocks with Detroit Tuned valving for a combination of performance and excellent street ride quality without requiring manual shock adjustments. The system is based around a 4-inch-stroke shock and is paired with 650 pounds per inch springs with a 10-inch free length for the Big Block Chevy application. Detroit Speed quality checks and inspects its springs and engraves them with the spring rate for easy identification.
