DSE Front Speed Kit 3 - Non-Adjustable Shocks (031370DS) - 1973-1977 GM A-Body - SBC / LS
Take the front suspension performance of your 1973-1977 GM A-Body to the next level with the Detroit Speed Front Speed Kit 3. Designed for Small Block Chevy and LS-powered applications, part number 031370DS brings together matched Detroit Speed components as an integrated front suspension system rather than leaving you to piece together unrelated upgrades. The result is a comprehensive performance package built to improve handling, suspension response, road manners, and stance while preserving the character of your classic GM A-Body.
The 031370DS package uses non-adjustable coilover shocks and a 600 pounds per inch spring rate with a 9.5-inch spring free length. The coilover configuration provides adjustable ride height even though shock damping is non-adjustable, giving you the ability to dial in the vehicle's stance while relying on Detroit Speed's engineered shock calibration. Designed as a coordinated Speed Kit 3 system, this package is an excellent choice for enthusiasts building a sharper street machine, modern restomod, or Pro Touring A-Body and looking for a substantial front suspension upgrade without the complexity of manually adjustable shocks.
