The Detroit Speed Level 1 - Full Vehicle Kit delivers a cohesive suspension system tailored for premium street-driven C2 and C3 Corvette builds. Configured specifically for Restomod projects, this package prioritizes ride comfort, composure, and handling balance using tuned, non-adjustable coilover shocks.
Ideal for weekend cruisers and show-quality builds, with stock or mildly modified drivetrains, the Level 1 offers modern performance refinement while maintaining compatibility with the factory Corvette differential.
ENGINEERED FOR MODERN HANDLING & RIDE QUALITY
Elevate your Corvette to a new class of refinement with Level 1 - an exclusive integration from Detroit Speed. Combining the SpeedRay™ Front Suspension and DECAlink™ Rear Suspension, this combination is engineered to transform your Corvette with modern sophistication from end to end.
At the front, the SpeedRay™ system delivers a meticulously designed coilover conversion, precision rack‑and‑pinion steering, and premium Corvette hub‑pack uprights. This fully bolt‑in assembly redefines suspension geometry, enhancing composure and confidence with every mile.
The DECAlink™ rear suspension complements the experience with a true multilink architecture and coilover conversion, bringing unprecedented stability, control, and smoothness to the Corvette’s rear‑end dynamics. The included CV axle kit ensures a seamless, factory‑quality connection to your original differential.
To complete the package, street‑tuned, non‑adjustable coilovers have been carefully selected for their refined balance of comfort and performance - delivering predictable, elegant handling and a remarkable ride without the complexity of track‑level tuning.
LEVEL 1. STREET REFINEMENT, DETROIT SPEED CONFIDENCE.
The Detroit Speed Level 1 is built for the enthusiast who wants a modern driving experience without turning their build into a tuning exercise. It is the street-focused package in the lineup, engineered to deliver a finished, high-end feel with the kind of composure you notice immediately.
Level 1 is all about balance. Clean, predictable response. A chassis that stays settled over real roads, not just perfect pavement. Expansion joints, uneven backroads, mid-corner bumps, and the everyday stuff that can make a classic platform feel busy or unpredictable gets tightened up into something smooth and confident. The vehicle tracks straighter, transitions cleaner, and feels more stable when you lean on it.
It is also designed to be easy to live with. Street-tuned, non-adjustable coilovers are selected for the right comfort and performance blend, so the system just works. No chasing settings, no endless adjustments, no second-guessing. You get the benefit of Detroit Speed engineering with a refined, ready-to-drive setup.
If your goal is a premium street build that feels as finished as it looks, Level 1 is the foundation that brings the whole experience up a class.
