DSE Coilover Front Conversion Kit - Base Shocks - SBC / LS (1973 - 1977 GM A-Body) 030315DS
Bring modern coilover performance to your 1973-1977 GM A-Body with the Detroit Speed Coilover Front Conversion Kit 030315DS. Engineered for Small Block Chevy and LS-powered applications, this direct bolt-in system replaces the conventional front shock and spring arrangement with a modern coilover setup. The result is extensive ride height adjustability, improved suspension tuning capability, and Detroit Speed engineering designed to give your classic the handling and ride quality expected from a modern performance build.
The 030315DS base package uses aluminum-body non-adjustable coilover shocks with Detroit Tuned valving, giving you application-specific damping without the need to manually adjust the shocks. The system is optimized around a 2-inch drop from stock ride height and uses 575 pounds per inch springs with a 9.5-inch free length. This combination makes 030315DS a strong choice for enthusiasts who want a properly engineered bolt-in coilover conversion with adjustable ride height and proven shock valving without stepping up to an adjustable shock package.
