[DML] Re: Original Suspension

[Marc A Levy <malevy@xxxx>]

There is a lot of information on this in the back issues.

Most of the DeLorean vendors sell springs to lower the car. I have a
set from DMC Houston, and I am happy with them.. The DMC Houston set is
a 4 spring set, PJ Grady also sells some springs, but I think they are
only for the front. (Call him and check).

The old method to lower the car was to "cut and swap", where you would
cut the rear springs, and put them in the front. Move the front springs
to the back. When I purchased my car, the previous owner had done
this.. The car looked great, but the back was never stiff enough for my
liking, the front was a bit too stiff!! (Makes sense the springs were
swapped and the weight requirements were different!).

If you want some cut springs I can sell you mine :)
