[DML] Re: Suspension Question

["Dave Swingle" <swingle@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Probably no reason on a DeLorean other than to lower it or modify the 
handling. I've heard of springs weakening over time due to factors such 
as racing or driving on extremely rough roads (think New York City 
taxicab) over many miles. The typical low-mileage DeLorean, even at 25 
years old, has probably not "worn out" its springs.
