Part number 031360-SDS features JRi single-adjustable coilover shocks with Detroit Tuned valving, giving you greater control over suspension response 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 front-end package designed to make your classic Camaro or Firebird feel tighter, more precise, and more responsive on the road.
