DSE Front Speed Kit 1 - SBC / LS (031307DS) - 1970-1981 Chevrolet Camaro / Pontiac Firebird
Bring modern suspension control and a more aggressive Pro-Touring stance to your second-generation F-Body with the Detroit Speed 031307DS Front Speed Kit 1. Engineered for 1970-1981 Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird applications with Small Block Chevrolet or GM LS power, this complete front suspension package combines matched Detroit Speed components into one integrated system. Instead of piecing together individual upgrades, Speed Kit 1 gives you a proven combination designed to improve handling, cornering stability, suspension response, and overall road feel while retaining the factory-style front suspension architecture.
The 031307DS package combines tubular upper control arms, tubular lower control arms with stock spring pockets, Koni Classic front shocks, 2-inch drop front springs, and a front tubular sway bar. The springs feature a 550 lb/in rate and 13.75-inch free length, providing a firmer performance-oriented setup along with the lower stance enthusiasts expect from a properly built second-generation Camaro or Firebird. The non-adjustable Koni Classic shocks provide matched damping, while the tubular control arms and sway bar strengthen the overall suspension package for more confident street and performance driving.
