I've read that you can put the rear springs in the front and put the front in the rear (after cutting 3-1/2 coils out). I also know that lowering coils can be purchased. I'd like to hear from someone who did the "switch and cut" method and what their impression of the results was. Final car stance? Ride quality? etc. Mechanically speaking, I know it's "proper" to buy the lowering springs, but is there anything really wrong with this method? >> Steve,I did that to my friends Delorean,I cut the 3-1/2 coils off the rear springs using a die-grinder and a cut off wheel,that kept me from using any heat on the coils and losing and strength and rigity,It was a bear to install the springs on the front I highly recommend renting or buying a professional spring compressor ,and not use those cheap $20.00 spring compressors,the car looks great lowered,I looked at that Delorean about a month ago,(it sits stored in his basement next to his furnace-(REALLY) unused,but the only problem was that the springs make a boinky noise that can only be heard while driving and only from inside the car.
