DSE Front Speed Kit 3 - Double Adjustable Shocks (031353-DDS) - 1967-1969 Camaro / Firebird / 1968-1974 Nova BBC
Bring modern suspension control and steering response to your big-block classic with the Detroit Speed Front Speed Kit 3. Engineered specifically for 1967-1969 Chevrolet Camaro, 1967-1969 Pontiac Firebird, and 1968-1974 Chevrolet Nova BBC applications, this comprehensive front suspension package combines matched Detroit Speed components into a 100% bolt-on system designed to work with the factory front subframe. From sharper turn-in and improved suspension geometry to adjustable coilover performance, Speed Kit 3 delivers the hardware needed to make a classic F-Body or X-Body feel substantially more responsive and controlled.
The 031353-DDS package steps up to JRi double-adjustable coilover shocks with Detroit Tuned valving, giving performance-minded builders greater suspension tuning capability along with adjustable ride height. Tubular control arms improve suspension geometry and caster, while the 1-1/8-inch OD tubular sway bar helps control body roll. Detroit Speed completes the system with an all-new 12.7:1 quick-ratio steering gear featuring Detroit Tuned rack-and-pinion valve technology and a steering service kit with premium components to help restore the precise, tight steering feel expected from a properly sorted performance build.
