I think most or all knowledgeable D mechanics would agree that the new 
springs are the only way to go. I've seen the article in DW and as I recall, 
it was from several years ago. If it were written today, it would likely 
feature the installation of made-for-the-purpose springs that are now 
available. The best and most accurate information can nonetheless be 
superceded when a better product or method, especially one fielded by 
knowledgeable DeLorean professionals, comes along. Even with a twenty year 
repair history, there are always improvements and new products being 
developed. Another plus for the DeLorean marque!
