Detroit Speed Front Speed Kit 3 - 82-03 S10 Truck / SUV

Detroit Speed’s Speed Kit 3 is the ultimate front-end solution for S10 builders who want unmatched handling, steering precision, and on-road confidence. Building on the performance foundation of Speed Kit 2, this system adds Detroit Speed’s 12.7:1 fast-ratio steering box and U-joint steering shaft—bringing sharper response, tighter control, and a connected driving experience you can feel in your hands. Designed as a complete, tuned package, Speed Kit 3 delivers Detroit Speed’s signature fit, finish, and engineering quality from the control arms to the steering wheel.

FAST-RATIO STEERING RESPONSE

The included DSE 12.7:1 power steering box provides a quicker steering ratio and firmer feel compared to factory units, improving feedback and reducing input effort. Paired with a Detroit Speed U-joint steering shaft, the system eliminates deflection and play found in stock rag joints, offering a crisp, connected response on the road or at speed.

DIAL IN THE PERFECT STANCE

With QA1 double adjustable coil-overs, 2” drop spindles, and DSE-tuned 575 lb/in springs, Speed Kit 3 allows up to 4.5” of front drop while maintaining alignment, comfort, and control. Whether you prefer a level stance or a forward rake, this system makes it easy to get the look you want and the performance to back it up.

BUILT-IN PERFORMANCE GEOMETRY

Detroit Speed’s upper and lower control arms are built to correct suspension geometry on lowered vehicles, delivering increased caster and optimized camber for better high-speed stability, sharper steering feel, and improved tire contact. The system offers a camber range of 0 to -2 degrees and a caster range of 6 to 8 degrees, made possible by Detroit Speed’s precision-engineered caster tuning slugs. Durable Delrin bushings reduce deflection and eliminate lost motion, enhancing overall driver feel.

RIDE QUALITY: BUILT FOR REAL ROADS

QA1’s 18-click double adjustable shocks give you full control over ride stiffness and rebound, allowing you to tailor the feel for street cruising or spirited driving—all without sacrificing comfort.
