In my opinion...it's not worth doing. You can't just take the springs off and cut them with a hack saw, torch or cutoff wheel. You have to bring it proffesional so that they can cut them down perfectly and flaten the ends of the spring after it's been cut. This alone would cost more than just purchasing a set of lowered springs from a Delorean parts dealer. The lowering springs that they offer are specially engineered for the delorean and are made from scratch (not modified OEM springs). I also don't suggest lowering the rear. If you talk to Rob at PJ Grady he can tell you why (his green delorean is lowered both in the rear and front). Save yourself the Headache and money, purchase the lowering shocks from a Delorean vendor, they will be the right ones that you need. Rob and DMC Joe sell the front shock set for $195 and they are powdercoated. You can use your existing shocks with the springs, but they do offer specially designed (custom made) front and rear shocks that deliver better performance. A kit for all four shocks and set of front springs are available from them too.
