DSE Front Speed Kit 3 - Single Adjustable Shocks (031361-SDS) - 1973-1974 Camaro / Pontiac Firebird - BBC
Bring modern suspension control, sharper steering response, and driver-tunable damping to your big-block second-generation F-Body with the Detroit Speed Front Speed Kit 3. Designed for 1973-1974 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 ride-height control while maintaining the convenience of a 100% bolt-on package.
Part number 031361-SDS features JRi single-adjustable coilover shocks with Detroit Tuned valving, giving you additional 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 with Detroit Tuned rack-and-pinion valve technology and a Detroit Speed steering service kit complete a coordinated front-end package engineered to give your classic Camaro or Firebird the tighter, more precise response expected from a serious street, restomod, or Pro Touring build.
