DSE Front Speed Kit 3 - Non-Adjustable Shocks (031357DS) - 1970-1972 Camaro / Pontiac Firebird - BBC
Bring modern steering response, suspension control, and adjustable ride height to your big-block second-generation F-Body with the Detroit Speed Front Speed Kit 3. Designed for 1970-1972 Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird applications with Big Block Chevy or Pontiac engines, this comprehensive package combines proven Detroit Speed suspension and steering components into an integrated system. Speed Kit 3 is engineered for enthusiasts who want to retain the stock front subframe while making a major upgrade in handling, steering precision, suspension geometry, and overall road manners.
Part number 031357DS combines JRi non-adjustable coilover shocks with Detroit Tuned valving, tubular upper and lower control arms, a substantial 1-3/8-inch OD x 0.188-inch wall tubular sway bar, and an all-new 12.7:1 quick-ratio steering gear featuring Detroit Tuned rack-and-pinion valve technology. The coilover design provides ride-height adjustment even though shock damping is non-adjustable, while 575 or 700 pounds per inch spring-rate options allow the suspension package to be matched to the application. Detroit Speed's steering service kit rounds out a coordinated package built to give a classic F-Body the tighter, more responsive feel expected from a serious street, restomod, or Pro Touring build.
