Re: [DML] Shocks - vendors and other scammers

[Martin Gutkowski <webmaster@xxxx>]

The shock absorber (or more corectly "damper") prevents harmonic motion - "bounce" - in
the suspension. The springs support the car, not the shocks. Presumably a shock from a
heavier car would result in a firmer ride on the DeLorean, but it's a case of "suck it
and see".

Doesn't the Deorean have a firmer ride than the cars mentioned anyway?
