DSE Front Speed Kit 1 (031340DS) - 1982-1992 Chevrolet Camaro / Pontiac Firebird
Wake up the front end of your Third Gen F-Body with the Detroit Speed 031340DS Front Speed Kit 1. Designed for 1982-1992 Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird models with Small Block Chevrolet or GM LS power, this matched suspension package replaces key factory components with proven Detroit Speed upgrades engineered to work together. The result is sharper handling, improved suspension control, and a more aggressive stance without forcing you to piece together a front suspension combination one component at a time.
The 031340DS package combines tubular lower control arms, 950 lb/in front drop springs, Koni front replacement shocks, and a tubular front sway bar. The springs have an 11.25-inch free length and lower the front approximately 2 inches, giving the car a performance-oriented stance while increasing suspension control. Combined with Detroit Speed's tubular lower control arms and larger front sway bar, the system is designed to reduce the shortcomings of the factory Third Gen suspension and deliver more confidence through corners while maintaining street-friendly performance.
