DSE Front Speed Kit 1 - Non-Adjustable Shocks (031380DS) - 1960-1965 Ford Falcon / Mercury Comet
Bring modern suspension control, a lower stance, and sharper handling to your classic Falcon or Comet with the Detroit Speed Front Speed Kit 1. Designed specifically for 1960-1965 Ford Falcon and Mercury Comet applications, part number 031380DS combines performance control arms, Detroit Tuned non-adjustable coilovers, and shock tower closeouts into an integrated front suspension system. With a 1.5 to 3-inch lowering range, this package gives your classic Ford platform a more aggressive stance while upgrading the suspension for improved ride control and performance.
The 031380DS package uses Detroit Tuned non-adjustable coilover shocks paired with 350 pounds per inch springs, providing suspension-specific damping without requiring manual shock adjustments. The coilover spring and shock are relocated to the lower control arm, while one-piece lower control arms incorporate cross-axis bushings and heavy-duty adjustable strut rod pivots. Upper control arms feature DSE Caster Tuner slugs for improved alignment adjustability. Relocating the upper shock mounts beneath the fender aprons helps clean up the engine compartment, while shock tower closeouts provide additional clearance for wider front wheel and tire packages. This kit requires the factory spindles, which are not included.
