Give your Big Block-powered classic GM a front suspension built to handle far beyond the limitations of the original setup with the Detroit Speed 031351-DDS Front Speed Kit 2. Engineered for 1967-1969 Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird models along with 1968-1974 Chevrolet Nova and compatible X-Body applications, this integrated package combines proven Detroit Speed components into a system designed for sharper steering response, improved cornering control, adjustable ride height, and substantially greater suspension tuning capability.

FAQs
What makes the DSE 031351-DDS different from the other 031351 Speed Kit 2 versions?
The 031351-DDS is the double-adjustable shock version for Big Block applications. It provides greater damper tuning capability than the 031351DS base-shock package and 031351-SDS single-adjustable package while retaining the same 650 lb/in spring rate and coilover ride-height adjustment.
Can I adjust both ride height and shock damping with the DSE 031351-DDS?
Yes. The coilover suspension allows front ride-height adjustment, while the double-adjustable shocks provide additional control over damping characteristics. This makes 031351-DDS particularly well suited to enthusiasts who want to fine-tune their suspension for different driving conditions and performance goals.
