[DML] Re: Lowering Springs (engine swap D's)

["d_rex_2002" <rich@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Another viewpoint:

For those of you out there that have done an engine swap and have
added some extra weight out back, I highly recommend a full set
of progressive rate springs like the Marty Maier set that I now
have on my Grand National 3.8L Turbo powered Delorean.  What may
be a little too low height in front for a stock engine Delorean
really works out extremely well with cars having a heavy engine
out back.  The adjustable collars on the rear springs make it
easy work to compensate the weight out back and improve both the
looks and the handling at the same time.  I do have a custom set
of KYB's running on this car as well, making it even more sporty.

Later,
