DSE / JRI Front Strut Kit - Single Adjustable Strut (1982 - 1992 Chevrolet Camaro / Pontiac Firebird) 030332DS
Upgrade the front suspension of your third-generation F-Body with the Detroit Speed/JRi Front Strut Kit 030332DS. Designed for 1982-1992 Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird models, this direct bolt-on system combines high-performance aluminum strut bodies with Detroit Tuned valving and single adjustable damping for a major increase in suspension tuning capability. With the Detroit Speed caster/camber plate kit included, the 030332DS gives you the adjustability needed to dial in ride height, strut travel, and front-end alignment for everything from aggressive street driving to autocross and track use.
The 030332DS uses adjustable aluminum spindle brackets that allow strut travel to be tuned independently in relation to vehicle ride height. At the upper spindle mounting location, removable hole inserts provide positive, repeatable wheel camber changes in 1/16-inch increments instead of relying on a traditional slotted mounting point. Combined with the included caster/camber plates and Detroit Speed Strut Mount Retainer Kit, this package delivers a comprehensive front strut and alignment upgrade engineered specifically for the 1982-1992 F-Body.

FAQs
What suspension adjustments does the DSE 030332DS Front Strut Kit provide?
The single adjustable DSE/JRi struts provide damping adjustment, while the adjustable aluminum spindle brackets allow strut travel to be tuned independently in relation to vehicle ride height. The included caster/camber plates and removable spindle mounting inserts add extensive front alignment adjustability, including camber changes in 1/16-inch increments at the spindle.
Does Detroit Speed 030332DS bolt directly onto every 1982-1992 Camaro and Firebird?
The front strut kit is designed as a direct bolt-on assembly. However, the included Strut Mount Retainer Kit installs differently depending on model year. It is a direct bolt-in replacement on 1987-1992 vehicles, while 1982-1986 models require slotting one hole in the strut tower to use the retainers.
