Give your Big Block-powered classic GM the suspension control and adjustability to match its horsepower with the Detroit Speed 031351-SDS 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 front suspension package combines proven Detroit Speed components to improve steering response, cornering stability, suspension control, and overall driving confidence. With adjustable ride height and single-adjustable shocks, it delivers meaningful tuning capability without the added complexity of a double-adjustable setup.
The 031351-SDS is specifically configured for Big Block Chevrolet applications and combines tubular upper and lower control arms, a coilover conversion kit, DSE/JRi aluminum-body single-adjustable coilover shocks with Detroit Tuned valving, 650 lb/in springs with a 10-inch free length, a front sway bar, and Torrington bearings. The coilover system allows you to dial in front ride height, while the single-adjustable shocks add rebound adjustment with the turn of a knob. The result is a coordinated suspension package built to deliver sharper handling while maintaining excellent ride quality for street-driven Pro-Touring builds.

FAQs
What can be adjusted on the DSE 031351-SDS Front Speed Kit 2?
The coilover suspension provides front ride-height adjustment, while the DSE/JRi single-adjustable shocks provide rebound adjustment with the turn of a knob. This lets you fine-tune both stance and suspension response while keeping shock adjustment straightforward.
How does 031351-SDS differ from the other DSE 031351 Speed Kit 2 versions?
The 031351-SDS is the single-adjustable Big Block version. The 031351DS uses non-adjustable base shocks, while the 031351-DDS uses double-adjustable shocks. The single-adjustable configuration is an excellent middle ground for enthusiasts who want more tuning control than the base setup without moving to the more advanced double-adjustable package.
