At the moment I have two DeLoreans, one with the Mid-States setup and one with the DMCHouston/Eibach setup. Both are "fresh" installations. In addition to the price there are other very distinct differences that come in to play. Depending on what you are looking for in a suspension, this may over-ride the price difference. The DMCH setup is probably more "true" to the original DMC design, in that it is relatively stiff and very appropriate to a sports car. This is very noticable when driving the two back to back. It does get rid of the harshness that seems to be the problem with worn-out OEM Girlings at this point, but it you still get a very responsive, very low sway-on- turns setup. I'd compare it to the suspension on my M3 in this respect. The Mid-states suspension is designed as a "touring" suspension. It is somewhat softer than either the original or the DMCH setup. Notably more lean in handling maneuvers, noticeably less stiffness on bad pavement/railroad crossings. For long-distance or non-aggressive driving it's probably a bit easier on the driver, with a feel more like a larger sedan. Whether this is what you are looking for or not in a DeLorean is very much a personal decision. The condition of the roads you normally drive on may influence your decision. Honestly I don't have a preference, I can appreciate each for it's intended use. It's nice to have choices. As usual, don't buy on price alone.
