DSE Front Speed Kit 2 - Base Shocks - Tubular Sway Bar (031322DS) - 1964-1967 GM A-Body BBC
Upgrade your Big Block-powered 1964-1967 GM A-Body with the Detroit Speed 031322DS Front Speed Kit 2, an integrated suspension package engineered to deliver more responsive handling, better body control, adjustable ride height, and a performance-focused stance. Instead of piecing together individual components, Detroit Speed combines matched tubular control arms, forged drop spindles, DSE/JRi coilovers, and a tubular front sway bar into a system designed to work together. For street-driven and Pro-Touring builds, it is a comprehensive way to move beyond the limitations of the original front suspension while maintaining excellent ride quality.
The 031322DS is the base-shock version engineered for Big Block Chevrolet applications. DSE/JRi aluminum-body coilover shocks feature Detroit Tuned valving in a non-adjustable configuration, providing a performance-oriented damping setup without requiring the driver to manually tune shock settings. The coilovers are paired with 650 lb/in springs featuring a 9.5-inch free length, and the coilover design still allows ride-height adjustment. Detroit Speed forged 2-inch drop spindles and a tubular front sway bar further enhance stance, body control, and cornering performance.

FAQs
What comes in the DSE 031322DS Front Speed Kit 2?
The 031322DS combines Detroit Speed tubular upper and lower control arms, forged 2-inch drop spindles, DSE/JRi aluminum-body non-adjustable coilover shocks with Detroit Tuned valving, 650 lb/in coilover springs, and a tubular front sway bar into an integrated front suspension package.
Can ride height be adjusted with the base shocks in DSE 031322DS?
Yes. The DSE/JRi base shocks use non-adjustable damping, but the coilover system still provides ride-height adjustment. This allows you to dial in vehicle stance while retaining Detroit Speed's preset shock valving without the additional tuning requirements of adjustable shocks.
