DSE 2-Inch Drop Coil Springs - Front (031117PDS) - 1968-1972 GM A-Body SBC / LS
Give your classic GM A-Body the lower, more aggressive stance it deserves while improving suspension control with the Detroit Speed 031117PDS Front 2-Inch Drop Coil Springs. Engineered for compatible 1968-1972 GM A-Body applications with Small Block Chevrolet or LS engine combinations, these performance springs lower the front approximately 2 inches from stock ride height. The result is a purposeful Pro-Touring stance backed by improved ride and handling characteristics compared with soft factory coils.
The 031117PDS springs feature a 550 lb/in spring rate and 13.625-inch free length, providing a performance-oriented balance of suspension control and street-friendly ride quality for compatible SBC and LS combinations. Detroit Speed designed its front coil springs around DSE Lower Control Arms, but these springs will also work with factory lower control arms. Sold as a pair, they provide a straightforward way to lower and upgrade the front suspension without converting the vehicle to a coilover system.
