DSE Front Speed Kit 3 - Single Adjustable Shocks (031352-SDS) - 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 Front Speed Kit 3, a comprehensive bolt-on performance package engineered for 1967-1969 Chevrolet Camaro, 1967-1969 Pontiac Firebird, and 1968-1974 Chevrolet Nova models with SBC or LS engines. Designed around the factory front subframe, Speed Kit 3 combines carefully matched Detroit Speed components to deliver significantly improved steering response, suspension control, handling, and adjustability while maintaining the convenience of a 100% bolt-on system.
This single-adjustable version features JRi coilover shocks with Detroit Tuned valving, allowing ride-height adjustment while delivering performance engineered specifically for the vehicle. Tubular upper and lower control arms improve suspension geometry and caster, while a 1-1/8-inch OD tubular sway bar helps control body roll. An all-new 12.7:1 quick-ratio steering gear uses Detroit Tuned rack-and-pinion valve technology to sharpen steering response, while the included steering service components help refresh the front steering system for a tighter, more precise feel.
