DSE Coilover Front Conversion Kit - Double Adjustable Shocks - SBC / LS (1970 - 1981 Chevrolet Camaro / Pontiac Firebird) 030313-DDS
Give your second-generation F-Body the suspension control and adjustability of a modern performance car with the Detroit Speed Coilover Front Conversion Kit 030313-DDS. Designed for 1970-1981 Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird models with Small Block Chevy or LS power, this direct bolt-in conversion replaces the stock front shock and spring arrangement with a true coilover system. The result is a more tunable front suspension with extensive ride height adjustment and the ability to tailor the setup around your car, driving style, and performance goals.
The 030313-DDS package takes that capability further with double adjustable shocks that provide two independent adjustments and a wide tuning range. This allows the shock response to be dialed in for demanding performance driving while still providing excellent ride quality on the street. The system uses Detroit Speed's application-focused suspension engineering, a 4-inch-stroke shock design, and 575 pounds per inch coil springs. Detroit Speed quality checks and inspects its springs, engraves them with their spring rate for easy identification, and designs them to maintain their height over time.
