DSE Front Speed Kit 2 - Base Shocks (031350DS) - 1967-1969 Camaro / Firebird / 1968-1974 Nova - SBC / LS
Transform the front suspension of your classic F-Body or X-Body with the Detroit Speed 031350DS Front Speed Kit 2. Engineered for Small Block Chevrolet and GM LS-powered applications, this integrated suspension package combines proven Detroit Speed components to deliver sharper handling, improved suspension control, and adjustable ride height. Instead of piecing together individual upgrades, Speed Kit 2 gives you a matched system designed to work together for more precise steering, better cornering stability, and the responsive feel expected from a serious Pro-Touring build.
The 031350DS package combines tubular upper and lower control arms with a coilover conversion system, DSE/JRi aluminum-body non-adjustable shocks featuring Detroit Tuned valving, 550 lb/in coilover springs, Torrington bearings, and a tubular front sway bar. The 10-inch free-length springs and coilover design provide ride-height adjustment, while the base shocks deliver Detroit Speed's predetermined damping without requiring manual shock tuning. The result is a straightforward performance package for enthusiasts who want a substantial step beyond the factory suspension while maintaining a street-friendly setup.

FAQs
What comes in the DSE 031350DS Front Speed Kit 2?
The 031350DS combines Detroit Speed tubular upper and lower control arms, a coilover conversion kit, DSE/JRi aluminum-body non-adjustable coilover shocks with Detroit Tuned valving, 550 lb/in springs, a tubular front sway bar, and Torrington bearings into an integrated front suspension package.
Can I adjust the ride height with the DSE 031350DS even though the shocks are non-adjustable?
