Bring modern suspension control and sharper steering response to your late second-generation F-Body with the Detroit Speed Front Speed Kit 3. Designed for 1975-1981 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 significantly upgrading handling, suspension geometry, steering precision, and ride-height control in a convenient 100% bolt-on package.
Part number 031364DS combines JRi non-adjustable coilover shocks with Detroit Tuned valving, performance-oriented 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 design provides adjustable ride height even though shock damping is non-adjustable, while 575 or 700 pounds per inch spring options allow the suspension setup to be matched to the application. A Detroit Speed steering service kit completes a coordinated front-end package designed to give your classic F-Body tighter control and the responsive feel expected from a serious street, restomod, or Pro Touring build.
