DSE Coilover Front Conversion Kit - Base Shocks - SBC / LS (1970 - 1981 Chevrolet Camaro / Pontiac Firebird) 030313DS
Bring modern coilover performance to your second-generation F-Body with the Detroit Speed Coilover Front Conversion Kit 030313DS. Designed for 1970-1981 Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird models with Small Block Chevy or LS power, this direct bolt-in kit converts the stock front suspension to a coilover shock and spring system. The conversion gives you extensive ride height adjustability while replacing the limitations of the original shock and spring arrangement with a suspension package engineered for improved handling, control, and street ride quality.
The 030313DS package uses non-adjustable aluminum-body coilover shocks with Detroit Tuned valving, giving you application-specific shock performance without requiring manual damping adjustments. The system is based around a 4-inch-stroke shock and uses 575 pounds per inch coil springs. 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. All necessary components for the coilover conversion are included, making this a complete engineered solution for upgrading the front suspension of your classic F-Body.
