DSE Coilover Shock - Non-Adjustable (031016DS) - 1978-1988 G-Body / 1973-1977 A-Body
Keep your Detroit Speed coilover-equipped GM performing the way it was designed with the DSE 031016DS replacement front Coilover Shock. Built specifically for Detroit Speed Coil-Over Conversion Kits used on 1978-1988 GM G-Body and 1973-1977 GM A-Body applications, this aluminum-body shock features Detroit Tuned valving engineered to deliver the controlled ride and handling characteristics expected from a DSE suspension system. It is an ideal replacement when servicing an existing DSE front coilover setup without changing to an adjustable shock configuration.
The 031016DS uses a non-adjustable damping design, keeping suspension setup straightforward while retaining DSE's application-specific Detroit Tuned valving. Its threaded coilover body works with the spring adjuster to set vehicle ride height, so ride height remains tunable even though shock damping is fixed. Each shock is sold individually, and a quantity of two is required to replace both front shocks.
