DSE Front Speed Kit 1 - BBC (031313DS) - 1964-1967 GM A-Body
Bring modern suspension performance to your Big Block-powered classic GM A-Body with the Detroit Speed 031313DS Front Speed Kit 1. Engineered as an integrated bolt-on system, this package combines matched Detroit Speed components to improve ride quality, handling, cornering control, and camber/caster geometry. Rather than piecing together individual suspension upgrades, Speed Kit 1 gives you a complete performance-focused combination engineered to work together while maintaining the character of your classic muscle car.
The 031313DS package combines tubular upper and lower control arms, Detroit Speed forged 2-inch drop spindles, Koni Classic front shocks, increased-rate front coil springs, and a tubular front sway bar. The forged spindles lower the front approximately 2 inches for a more aggressive Pro-Touring stance, while the tubular control arms provide corrected camber and caster geometry. Koni Classic shocks and performance-oriented springs improve suspension control, and the larger tubular sway bar helps reduce body roll and improve cornering stability. For Big Block A-Body owners who want a substantial front suspension upgrade without moving to a complete replacement chassis system, Speed Kit 1 delivers a well-integrated solution.
