Bring modern suspension control and sharper steering response to your second-generation F-Body with the Detroit Speed Front Speed Kit 3. Designed for 1973-1974 Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird models with Small Block Chevy or LS 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 dramatically upgrading handling, suspension geometry, steering precision, and ride-height control in a convenient 100% bolt-on package.
Part number 031360DS 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 with Detroit Tuned rack-and-pinion valve technology. The coilover system provides ride-height adjustment even though shock damping is non-adjustable, while 575 or 700 pounds per inch spring-rate options let you select the appropriate setup for your application. A Detroit Speed steering service kit rounds out a coordinated front-end package designed to make a classic Camaro or Firebird feel tighter, more responsive, and more confident behind the wheel.
