DSE Front Speed Kit 3 - Double Adjustable Strut (031342-DDS) - 1982-1992 Chevrolet Camaro / Pontiac Firebird
Turn your Third Gen F-Body into a far more capable handling machine with the Detroit Speed 031342-DDS Front Speed Kit 3. Engineered for 1982-1992 Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird models with Small Block Chevrolet or GM LS power, Speed Kit 3 is Detroit Speed's most advanced front handling system for the stock Third Gen subframe. This comprehensive package attacks the weaknesses of the original suspension with matched components designed to deliver sharper steering response, improved chassis control, adjustable ride height, and the precision needed for serious street, Pro-Touring, autocross, and track use.
At the heart of 031342-DDS is the DSE/JRi double-adjustable front strut system paired with 950 lb/in springs and Detroit Speed's Front Weight Jack Kit. Independent shock adjustments give performance-minded drivers significantly more control over suspension tuning, while the weight jack system provides ride-height adjustment. Caster/camber plates, tubular lower control arms, a tubular front sway bar, and the frame rail stiffener work together to improve alignment capability, cornering stability, chassis rigidity, and steering response. For the Third Gen owner looking for Detroit Speed's top-level front suspension package while retaining the factory subframe, Speed Kit 3 is built for the job.
