DSE Front Speed Kit 1 - Non-Adjustable Shocks (031374DS) - 1964-1966 Ford Mustang
Bring modern suspension control, a more aggressive stance, and sharper handling to your early Mustang with the Detroit Speed Front Speed Kit 1. Designed specifically for 1964-1966 Ford Mustang applications, part number 031374DS combines Detroit Speed control arms, coilovers, and shock tower closeouts into an integrated front suspension package. The system 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 builds.
The 031374DS package uses Detroit Tuned non-adjustable coilover shocks paired with 350 pounds per inch springs, providing engineered damping without requiring the driver to dial in shock settings. One-piece lower control arms incorporate cross-axis bushings and heavy-duty adjustable strut rod pivots, while the upper control arms use Detroit Speed Caster Tuner slugs to provide increased alignment adjustability. Relocating the upper shock mount beneath the fender apron cleans up the engine compartment, and the included shock tower closeouts create additional clearance for wider front wheel and tire combinations. The kit is compatible with 1964-1970 Mustang spindles, which are not included.
