Re: [DML] Re: suspension and springs (long)

Excuse my type-o. I meant to say only the front was raised not lowered to 
meet the US specs on my post below.

I also see this trend developing recently as well unfortunately. ?There are 
many fine vendors and parts suppliers out there that are extremely courteous 
to DeLorean Owners. ?They provide excellent service and make excellent 
products. ?However they do not always have the time to read and reply to the 
DML. ?They are more than happy to take the time on the phone and help youin 
any way possible. ?DMC Joe, Don Steger, and Rob Grady, ?to name a few. ?Every 
one has different opinions on what is best for their car. ?I have the front 
springs replaced on my car with ones from PJ Grady. ?They are anything but 
"cheapie" ?They are excellent in quality and make for an improved ride and 
even out the spacing in the wheel wells. ?The rear stock springs are fineand 
are designed to support the weight of the engine. ?Only the front was lowered 
originally to meet specs for the US market. ?As I said to each is own when it 
comes to your DeLorean. ?I don't know any DeLorean Vendor who sells inferior 
products and have never seen it mentioned here on the DML or inferred to 
until recently.
