Take your 1978-1988 GM G-Body to the next level with the Detroit Speed 031337DS Front Speed Kit 3. Designed as an integrated suspension system for Small Block Chevrolet and GM LS applications, Speed Kit 3 builds on Detroit Speed's proven G-Body suspension upgrades to deliver sharper steering response, improved body control, better camber and caster geometry, and the confidence you want from a serious Pro-Touring setup. Rather than mixing individual components from different systems, this package gives you performance parts engineered to complement one another from the start.
The 031337DS uses non-adjustable coilover shocks with 575 lb/in springs and a 9.5-inch spring free length, providing the performance advantages and ride-height tuning capability of a coilover suspension without requiring manual shock damping adjustments. Speed Kit 3 is engineered for enthusiasts who want a comprehensive front suspension transformation for their classic G-Body, whether the car spends its time carving back roads, cruising on the street, or seeing more aggressive performance driving.

FAQs
What is the advantage of the DSE 031337DS Front Speed Kit 3?
Speed Kit 3 is designed as an integrated front suspension upgrade rather than a collection of unrelated parts. Its components work together to improve suspension geometry, steering response, body control, ride quality, and handling while adding coilover ride-height adjustment.
Are the shocks in DSE 031337DS adjustable?
The shock damping is non-adjustable. The coilover configuration does provide ride-height adjustment, giving you the ability to fine-tune vehicle stance while retaining Detroit Speed's predetermined shock damping setup.
