DSE Front Speed Kit 1 (031332DS) - 1973-1977 GM A-Body BBC
Bring modern suspension response and a more aggressive Pro-Touring stance to your Big Block-powered 1973-1977 GM A-Body with the Detroit Speed 031332DS Front Speed Kit 1. Instead of piecing together individual suspension upgrades, Detroit Speed combines complementary components into an integrated front suspension system engineered to improve ride quality, handling, camber and caster geometry, body control, and steering response. It is a comprehensive bolt-on upgrade for enthusiasts who want their classic A-Body to feel more planted and predictable without stepping up to a coilover-based Speed Kit 2.
The 031332DS package combines Detroit Speed tubular upper and lower control arms, Koni Classic front shock absorbers, higher-rate front coil springs, a tubular front sway bar, and Detroit Speed forged 2-inch drop spindles where applicable. The Koni Classic shocks provide modern damping technology while the increased-rate springs and tubular sway bar improve suspension and body control compared with the original soft factory setup. Detroit Speed finishes the steel suspension components in black for durability and a clean performance appearance.
