Re: [DML] Front Ride Height Intentions - Documented Proof

["Patrick C." <PRC1216@xxxxxxx>]

The document that Shannon posted came out of the collection that I am
currently scanning belonging to Cliff Schmucker.  

I have spent the last week scanning hundreds, if not thousands, of
documents that Cliff was fortunate enough to obtain from a former DMC
executive. These memos will be able to be viewed in their entirety at
the DCS Show in Pheasant Run, so consider the link to the Ohio
DeLoreans page a teaser of what will be in the museum at the show. 
There are numerous other company memos regarding rideheight, as this
was something the company wanted to correct.  I have seen no mention
of any headlight positioning requirements in my readings so far.
