Re: [doc] lowering PSO.

[Martin Gutkowski <webmaster@xxxx>]

You can buy springs, front and back, from DMC Houston. They are expensive
Chris has the front springs at 50 quid. Go figure. Most people only 
bother to lower the front.
PJ Grady has replacement modern shocks, for both front and back, which I 
have heard can be ajusted to lower the car. They improve the ride and 
handling massively.
