What I'm about to say is not based on the fact that we sell a set which are more expensive, but on the knowledge of the hoops we went through to get them made! There are a lot of companies out there who will make you a shock absorber for not a lot of money, but they all have their own ideas of what's necessary, and the DeLorean setup is a little strange, especially on the rear. I have a set of PJ Grady's "performance" shocks on my car ad can honestly say that I wouldn't recomend them. They sqeaks, and the ride is really wallowy. It's nice on the motoroway, but it's not meant ot feel like my Xantia (or Safrane, if the suspension was working but that's another story!). Our adjustable set allows you to basically choose on any given day, how you'd like the car to feel. And it takes all of 30 seconds to adjust - just pop your hand under each corner and add or subtract a couple of clicks on the adjustment (making sure that the front ones are the same and the rear ones are the same, though making changes from front to rear can be quite rewarding).
