DSE Front Speed Kit 1 - Double Adjustable Shocks (031387DS) - 1982-2003 S10 / S15 / Sonoma 2WD
Give your 2WD S10, S15, or Sonoma the stance and front-end control it should have had from the factory with the Detroit Speed Front Speed Kit 1. Designed for 1982-2003 applications, part number 031387DS combines QA1 Pro Coil double-adjustable coilovers with a DSE Tuned 575 pounds per inch spring rate and a large tubular front sway bar to deliver improved handling, sharper response, and adjustable ride height without requiring fabrication. With up to 2.5 inches of front drop available, this bolt-in package lets you dial in a more aggressive stance while maintaining the ride quality and drivability needed for a street-driven performance truck.
The heart of the 031387DS package is its QA1 Pro Coil double-adjustable coilover system, which provides 18 clicks of independent compression and rebound adjustment for precise control over ride and handling. Detroit Speed pairs the coilovers with a 1-7/16-inch diameter x 0.188-inch wall tubular front sway bar to reduce body roll, increase front-end grip, and improve cornering stability. Careful sway bar packaging also maximizes clearance at full steering lock, helping accommodate wider front tires. The system maintains factory spindle geometry, works with factory or drop spindles, and installs without cutting or welding.
