I don't know that these are the same exact shocks, but after reading
this, I wouldn't waste my time buying them.

For literaly the same price, PJ Grady, and Marty Maier over @ Mid
State DeLorean club offer their own performance shock kits. And for
not much more either, price wise. Plus, it comes with adjustable, rear
shock collars so you can also lower the rear end as well.

Stick with buying you DeLorean parts like this from people who've
taken the time to research the compatability, and are not some
fly-by-night eBay'er who is getting their information from an old,
outdated cross-over list.

Also, take note that this same seller "szyszek", is one who has been
seen selling non-DeLorean parts in the past on eBay, and trying to
pass them off as compatabile (see the previous discussion about the
"air valve").
