This is only my second submission to the list and I do so with some trepidation. I read the list regularly but time constraints usually preclude my involvement. I know this response is long but please bare with me. James, to ignore your statements would imply I agree with all of them, which is not the case. James, you said: (SNIP Digest # 356 Message 9) "Look at a half-dozen DeLoreans with stock front springs side by side and if you have two that are the same height, you'll be doing very well." First; I don't see this poor quality and sagging spring problem you describe with the stock springs. After reading your first post I conducted the following tests with six DeLorean's. Measurements were taken from the lower edge of the wheel well molding past the centerline of the wheel to the floor. I did not have time to check tire pressures, fuel tank levels, quantity of fender shims, etc. This would ensure less deviation from car to car. Tire brands and odometer readings, most of which I believe are accurate, are noted and listed below in mileage order. Mileage L/F R/F L/R R/R Tires 2186 26" 25 5/8" 27 ½" 27 ½" Goodyear NCT 8451 26" 26" 27 ½" 27 ½" Goodyear NCT 19021 25 ¾" 26" 27 ½" 27 ½" Goodyear NCT 20250 25 ½" 26" 27 ½" 27 5/8" Goodyear Eagle 30461 25 5/8" 26" 27 5/8" 27 5/8" Yokahama AVS 36735 25 ½" 25 3/8" 27 ¼" 27 1/8" Riken I see no problem here except; the front height is still excessive, even after twenty years. A valued customer of ours provided me with his measurements. We installed DMC Houston springs (he bought them directly from you James) on his car just two years ago. Here are his specs L/F - 24 ½", R/F - 24", L/R - 26 ½", R/R - 26". The half-inch deviation from lrft to right on these two-year-old springs is is greater than some of the twenty-year-old originals. Is this a problem? Absolutely not! That small amount of difference is normal in the car world. Chevrolet used to tell us this was normal (we were a GM as well as an original DeLorean Dealer until 1982) if a Chevy owner complained about small height variations while under the new car warranty. Our springs drop the front height an inch and a half. We also offer one inch lower springs but sell mostly the one and halves. The springs are high quality and powder coated. Our shock absorbers are custom made for us and are powder coated, nitrogen charged, pressure adjustable, rebuildable, and are produced by a performance shock manufacturer to our specification. Incidentally the rears feature an adjustable spring preload collar, which will allow you to lower the rear slightly if you wish. We don't sell front springs just to be cheaper than Houston or because people will settle for adequate handling. We cut no corners with our suspension kit and the only relatively cheap part is the price. However; at $680.00 for our complete kit, no one has called our suspension cheap. Perhaps we could arrange a track comparison? I'm confident that both of our suspension kits improve handling noticeably compared to a stock DeLorean. I also don't understand how you could say (SNIP 2 Digest 357 Message 18) "I have no idea where PJ Grady gets the products they are selling." on Monday and suddenly came to a realization two days later that (SNIP 3 Digest 362 Message 3) "Rob is one of the best customers that De Lorean Motor Company has, and I believe that he, Debbie and their staff provide an excellent and needed service in their region of the country." James, I used to feel like you were an ally and DMC Houston was a partner. This has all gradually changed since you joined their "team". Don't get me wrong, I still want to be your best customer, but it's hard when I can't get parts in a timely fashion. It's one of the reasons we manufacture many parts in the first place and I have a bad feeling I'll be forced to manufacture many more parts in the near future. I also disagree that we are a "regional" DeLorean parts and service provider. We have shipped parts to all fifty states, England, Germany, Japan, Switzerland, Netherlands, South Africa, France, Italy etc.. We receive cars for restoration from all over the USA. I wish to thank all the list members for their favorable comments over the years, including you James, and would like to be more involved on the mailing list. Hopefully it's not the last you will hear from me. I love working on DeLoreans for a living and appreciate the fact that my customers patronage allows me to do so. Thanks for hearing me out.
