DSE Coilover Front Conversion Kit - Base Shocks - BBC (1970 - 1981 Chevrolet Camaro / Pontiac Firebird) 030314DS
Bring modern coilover performance to your big block second-generation F-Body with the Detroit Speed Coilover Front Conversion Kit 030314DS. Designed for 1970-1981 Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird models with Big Block Chevy power, this direct bolt-in system converts the stock front suspension to a modern coilover shock and spring setup. Extensive ride height adjustability gives you the freedom to dial in your car's stance and suspension setup while Detroit Speed engineering delivers the handling control and street ride quality expected from a properly matched performance suspension.
The 030314DS package uses non-adjustable aluminum-body coilover shocks with Detroit Tuned valving, providing application-specific shock performance without requiring manual damping adjustments. The system is based around a 4-inch-stroke shock and uses 700 pounds per inch coil springs for the Big Block Chevy application. 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.
