DSE Front Speed Kit 3 - Single Adjustable Strut (031342DS) - 1982-1992 Chevrolet Camaro / Pontiac Firebird
Bring modern steering response and serious suspension capability to your Third Gen F-Body with the Detroit Speed 031342DS Front Speed Kit 3. Designed 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 platform. Rather than piecing together unrelated upgrades, this package combines proven components engineered to work as a complete system for sharper steering, improved body control, better suspension geometry, and a more confidence-inspiring driving experience.
The 031342DS package steps up to DSE/JRi single-adjustable front struts, giving you rebound adjustment for tuning suspension response while retaining excellent street manners. The Front Weight Jack Kit uses 950 lb/in springs with an 8-inch free length and provides ride-height adjustment for dialing in stance and front suspension setup. Combined with tubular lower control arms, a tubular front anti-roll bar, and the supporting components included with Speed Kit 3, this system is built for enthusiasts who want substantially more capability from a Third Gen Camaro or Firebird on the street, through the corners, or at the track.
