The new Detroit Speed, Inc. C2/C3 Speedray front suspension has no compromises and exclusive Detroit Speed suspension geometry for superior handling and ride quality. It is available as a 100 percent bolt-on system or with a small amount of fabrication for a competition coilover option that allows faster spring changes.
The system features Detroit Tuned quick ratio power rack and pinion steering along with forged in the USA Detroit Speed aluminum uprights. The bolt-on powder coated cradle assembly improves suspension geometry, provides rigid mounting for the rack and pinion, and includes integrated tie down eyelets.
DSE/JRi Detroit Tuned Coilover shocks/springs allow for spring rate tuning and ride height adjustment. It also includes a splined sway bar with aluminum arms, composite bushings, powder coated tubular upper and lower control arms with Delrin bushings, forged offset upper control arm mounting brackets with caster tuner bushings to optimize suspension geometry and provide clearance for Gen V LT4 engines.
The kit also includes Torrington bearings and a spanner tool for easy spring height adjustments. The body and engine do not need to be removed for installation of the Speedray front suspension.
