DSE Front Speed Kit 3 - Single Adjustable Shocks (031356-SDS) - 1970-1972 Camaro / Pontiac Firebird - SBC / LS
Take the front-end performance of your second-generation F-Body to a much higher level with the Detroit Speed Front Speed Kit 3. Designed for 1970-1972 Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird models with Small Block Chevy or LS engines, this integrated suspension and steering package combines proven Detroit Speed components engineered to work together. Speed Kit 3 is built for enthusiasts who want sharper steering response, improved suspension geometry, greater chassis control, adjustable ride height, and tunable shock performance while retaining the stock front subframe.
Part number 031356-SDS steps up to JRi single-adjustable coilover shocks with Detroit Tuned valving, giving you additional control over suspension tuning while retaining coilover ride-height adjustment. Tubular upper and lower control arms improve suspension geometry and caster, while the substantial 1-3/8-inch OD x 0.188-inch wall tubular sway bar helps control body roll. 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 complete a coordinated package engineered to give a classic F-Body the precise, responsive feel expected from a serious street, restomod, or Pro Touring build.
