DSE Front Speed Kit 1 - Single Adjustable Shocks (031374-SDS) - 1964-1966 Ford Mustang
Give your early Mustang the stance, suspension control, and adjustability of a modern performance build with the Detroit Speed Front Speed Kit 1. Designed specifically for 1964-1966 Ford Mustang applications, part number 031374-SDS combines performance control arms, single-adjustable coilovers, and shock tower closeouts into an integrated front suspension system. The kit lowers ride height from 1.5 to 3 inches while relocating the coilover spring and shock to the lower control arm for improved ride control, making it a serious upgrade for performance street, restomod, and Pro Touring Mustangs.
The 031374-SDS package uses Detroit Tuned single-adjustable coilover shocks paired with 350 pounds per inch springs, giving you the ability to dial in your preferred shock settings instead of relying on a fixed damping configuration. One-piece lower control arms incorporate cross-axis bushings and heavy-duty adjustable strut rod pivots, while the upper control arms feature Detroit Speed Caster Tuner slugs for improved alignment adjustability. Relocating the upper shock mount beneath the fender apron helps clean up the engine compartment, while the shock tower closeouts increase clearance for wider front wheel and tire packages. The system requires factory Mustang spindles, which are not included.
