DSE Front Speed Kit 1 - BBC (031308DS) - 1970-1981 Chevrolet Camaro / Pontiac Firebird
Give your Big Block-powered second-generation F-Body the suspension control and aggressive stance it deserves with the Detroit Speed 031308DS Front Speed Kit 1. Engineered for 1970-1981 Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird applications, this complete front suspension package combines matched Detroit Speed components into a bolt-on system designed to improve handling, cornering stability, suspension response, and overall road feel. Instead of piecing together individual upgrades, Speed Kit 1 provides a proven combination designed to work together while retaining the factory-style front suspension architecture.
The 031308DS 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 tubular front sway bar. This Big Block-specific version uses 650 lb/in front springs with a 13.25-inch free length to provide the spring rate required for the heavier engine application while delivering a lower Pro-Touring stance. The Koni Classic shocks provide modern damping performance, while the tubular control arms and sway bar create a more performance-focused front suspension package for confident street and spirited driving.
