Default coilovers confusion

I want a quadralink on my car and the ats chicane conversion.
The problem is detroit speed did not sale the kit without shock anymore so I have to run dse coilover.
Now with the front, I'm pretty sure that the full dse coilover did not fit with ats.
I dont like the idea of running two brand of shock on my car.
Does anyone fit dse shock with ats chicane?

You can run any shock you want on the front. Just buy the mount, install it then measure it for the correct shock you want. Pretty sure speedtech can also get you any shock from Viking, Ridetech or JRI you want. You should just call them

should be no issue up front
you will need a 1/2 id bearing that is 1.25 wide for the upper mount, for the lower if the shock is available with a 5/8 x 5/8" bearing then we can get you a T Bar for the lower if DSE doesn't have them available.
The front shock length will be 10" compressed 14 extended or there about.

AFCO sells a shock mount crossbar kit PN 20147-2 which includes a 1.060" OD x 5/8" ID bearing, crossbar and C-Clips for $30ea which will work with DSE shocks. DSE shocks use an industry standard 1.060" OD mount bearing so you just press the old bearing out and press the new bearing in.
