Transform the steering and handling of your classic F-Body or X-Body while retaining the stock front subframe with the Detroit Speed 031352DS Front Speed Kit 3. Designed for Small Block Chevrolet and GM LS-powered applications, Speed Kit 3 combines Detroit Speed's proven suspension and steering upgrades into a complete, 100 percent bolt-on system. This is the most advanced Detroit Speed handling package offered for use with the stock subframe, delivering improved suspension geometry, quicker steering response, better body control, adjustable ride height, and the connected road feel expected from a modern performance car.
The 031352DS combines tubular control arms, JRi non-adjustable coilover shocks with Detroit Tuned valving, 9.5-inch free-length coilover springs, a 1-1/8-inch OD tubular sway bar, an all-new 12.7:1 quick-ratio steering gear, and Detroit Speed steering service components. The upper control arms use CNC stainless steel cross shafts with Detroit Speed caster tuner bushings, while the lower control arms add positive caster and use Delrin bushings. The result is a carefully matched front suspension and steering package built for enthusiasts who want serious Pro-Touring performance without the additional shock tuning required by adjustable dampers.

FAQs
Are the shocks or ride height adjustable on the DSE 031352DS Speed Kit 3?
The JRi shocks in 031352DS are non-adjustable, meaning there are no external damping adjustments. However, the coilover suspension does provide adjustable ride height, allowing you to dial in the front stance while retaining Detroit Speed's predetermined Detroit Tuned shock valving.
What does Speed Kit 3 add beyond a basic front suspension upgrade?
Speed Kit 3 addresses both suspension and steering performance. In addition to the coilovers, tubular control arms, and tubular sway bar, the system includes an all-new 12.7:1 quick-ratio steering gear with Detroit Tuned rack-and-pinion valve technology and a Detroit Speed steering service kit. The components are designed to work together to give the stock-subframe platform substantially more modern steering and handling characteristics.
