DSE Front Speed Kit 2 - Double Adjustable Shocks (031388DS) - 1982-2003 S10 / S15 / Sonoma 2WD
Take your 2WD S-Series suspension well beyond a basic lowering setup with the Detroit Speed Front Speed Kit 2. Engineered for 1982-2003 Chevrolet S10, GMC S15, and GMC Sonoma 2WD applications, part number 031388DS combines QA1 Pro Coil double-adjustable coilovers, Detroit Speed upper and lower control arms, 2-inch drop spindles, and a large tubular front sway bar into a complete bolt-in performance package. With up to 4.5 inches of front drop available, this system gives you the stance you want while improving suspension geometry, steering response, front-end grip, and overall control.
The 031388DS Speed Kit 2 pairs QA1 Pro Coil double-adjustable coilovers with a DSE Tuned 575 pounds per inch spring rate, giving you 18 clicks of compression and rebound adjustment to fine-tune ride and handling. Detroit Speed upper and lower control arms are engineered to correct suspension geometry at lowered ride heights, with caster tuning slugs providing 6 to 8 degrees of caster and a camber range from 0 to negative 2 degrees. Delrin bushings help minimize deflection and unwanted suspension movement, while the 1-7/16-inch diameter x 0.188-inch wall tubular sway bar reduces body roll and is tightly packaged to maximize tire clearance at full steering lock. The result is a serious front suspension system designed to make a lowered S10, S15, or Sonoma handle as good as it looks.
