Give your big-block second-generation F-Body the steering response, suspension control, and adjustability of a modern performance machine with the Detroit Speed Front Speed Kit 3. Designed for 1970-1972 Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird big-block applications, this comprehensive package combines proven Detroit Speed suspension and steering components into an integrated system engineered to work with the stock front subframe. Speed Kit 3 delivers a major upgrade in handling, suspension geometry, steering precision, and overall road manners while maintaining the convenience of a 100% bolt-on package.
Part number 031357-SDS steps up to JRi single-adjustable coilover shocks with Detroit Tuned valving, providing suspension tuning capability along with adjustable ride height. 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 featuring Detroit Tuned rack-and-pinion valve technology and a Detroit Speed steering service kit round out a coordinated package built for enthusiasts who want their classic Camaro or Firebird to feel tighter, sharper, and more responsive behind the wheel.
