Yup, it's true the front shock absorbers are VERY hard to get if not impossible. Rob at PJ Grady just had some custom made shocks (front and rear) made up to be the exact match to the original ones, dimension wise. You do not need to perform any modifications at all to these shocks, they are a perfect fit. From what he tells me they have the same ride, if not better, then the originals. They are very NICE (I've seen them) and he also had them made to be adjustable by just simply pumping air into the shocks for a more stiffer response or letting out air for a more softer ride. Give them a call and ask him about them. www.pjgrady.com. --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxx, "Stian Birkeland" <dmc_norway@xxxx> wrote: > Hello list, > > I have a few questions regarding the DeLorean's shock absorbers since I plan > to get new ones on my DeLorean. > > 1) I've heard that the original FRONT shock absorbers are no longer > available.
