[DML] Lowering spings

[Marc A Levy <malevy@xxxx>]

Joe,

I take it that your claim is that only the front was raised to meet the
DOT requirements? I have heard information to the contrary, that the
entire car was raised for the DOT. 

If that is true, then all 4 springs would need to be replaced to "sit
level as the designers intended it to be." I have not measured a
"stock" delorean height, but it would seem to me (it looks like) the car
is level. When just the front is lowered, the nose looks lower than the
back, making the car no longer level.

James, do you have a comment on this? I think it was Stephen who told
me this when I spoke to him about the DMC Houston spring set.

To those thinking about buying springs: I am no expert on this, I am
just discussing the information I got when I was looking to replace my
springs. Dont use my information as a guideline for your purchase!

Marc
