Hennebury" <ehennebury@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Canadian DeLoreans Hey John, Have a look at the FAQ on the DMCnews website at http://www.dmcnews.com/faq/h_vins.htm for information on the VIN. Cars intended for the Canadian market (like mine) have a 17 at the beginning of their number. Hope this helps.

Yes you do need a special tool, a set of strut spring compressors (forgot the actual name). You have to compress the springs with this tool first before even atempting to remove them. There are two of them, one for each side of the spring to compress it evenly. Additionally you will need it also to install the new springs. I have to warn you that since the front springs were fitted with larger springs to raise the Delorean, it is a little tricky getting them out (also in) so be careful! The tool isn't too expensive, between $20-$40. It's not the greatest pic but below is a "drawing" of what one of them looks like, tool laying down. It has a set of upper and lower hooks that ride on a threaded shaft. Hope this helps. tool--> (___)__ Steve www.dmcman.homestead.com --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxx, cordes@xxxx wrote: > I heard of several people who decided to lower their Deloreans....is > this a difficult task to change out the springs?
