DSE 2-Inch Drop Coil Springs - Front (031120PDS) - 1968-1972 GM A-Body BBC
Give your big block A-Body the aggressive stance and tighter suspension control of a properly engineered Pro-Touring setup with the Detroit Speed 031120PDS Front 2-Inch Drop Coil Springs. Designed for compatible 1968-1972 GM A-Body applications with Big Block Chevrolet engine combinations, these springs lower the front approximately 2 inches from stock ride height while replacing the soft characteristics of factory coils with a performance-focused 650 lb/in spring rate. The result is a lower, more purposeful stance backed by improved ride and handling.
The 031120PDS springs feature a 13.25-inch free length and a 650 lb/in spring rate engineered for compatible big block applications. 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 your A-Body's front suspension without converting to a coilover system.
