DSE Front Speed Kit 2 - Base Shocks - Tubular Sway Bar (031321DS) - 1964-1967 GM A-Body SBC / LS
Upgrade your Small Block Chevrolet or GM LS-powered 1964-1967 GM A-Body with the Detroit Speed 031321DS Front Speed Kit 2, a complete performance suspension package engineered to work as an integrated system. Instead of piecing together individual upgrades, Speed Kit 2 combines matched Detroit Speed components to improve front-end control, handling, suspension geometry, and stance. With coilover ride-height adjustment, forged drop spindles, tubular control arms, and a tubular front sway bar, this package gives a classic A-Body the foundation for significantly more responsive and confident road manners.
The 031321DS is the base-shock version of this SBC/LS Speed Kit 2 and features DSE/JRi aluminum-body non-adjustable coilover shocks with Detroit Tuned valving. The shocks are paired with 550 lb/in springs featuring a 9.5-inch free length. Although the shock damping is preset, the coilover system still provides ride-height adjustment, giving you the ability to dial in vehicle stance without the added complexity of manual damping adjustments. This makes 031321DS an excellent choice for builders who want a proven Detroit Speed suspension setup with performance-focused damping and excellent street ride quality.
