Mmmmmmm, 4 piston vented brakesOriginally Posted by Chris_Von_Bron
I didn't realise that the lowers were no longer available. As requested here are some photos of them fitted.
Are the stainless LCA's stronger than the originals? I'm only wondering because to my eye they look rather thin. Do they also improve the handling as well?

Thank you very much for the pictures
Let's hope someday, it will be available again?

I did mean to weigh them so unaware of the weight compared to stock. I've not found any improvement with handling and wasn't expecting too. I wanted a material that wouldn't rust and these fulfil this nicely. I'm not sure if they are as strong as stock or not but for normal road use I'm sure they'll be fine.Mmmmmmm, 4 piston vented brakes

I'd love to see a pic comparison between DPI's, DMCH's and Hervey's springs.

Well I finished most of the install of My lowering springs From DPI. I'm still witing on the LCA support brackets that were on back order. I went with the Spax shock on the 4 corners and DPI front lowering springs. While I was in there I repainted the rear springs and collars. Also repainted the front brake calipars, cleaned what I could and put it all back together. Here are the befor and after pics.

Living in NYC I am lucky enough to have some of the smoothest roads in the world. Wait... reverse that. My question is specifically about potholes. I have used the "I have original springs because of potholes" excuse long enough and am curious if anyone has any input on whether my clearance will be sufficient enough when lowered for NYC roads? I want to improve my comfort and handling (will be going with power steering mod and power break mod). Any thoughts?

IMO, the lowered front end is NOT compatible with NYC roads. (Source: I am originally from NY and drive a lowered D)

I'm thinking about doing the same thing. Just replacing the shocks and springs in the front and leaving the back stock. Does anyone have any pictures of what that looks like? I'm considering pj Grady lowered front springs.
You can't buy happiness, but you can buy a DeLorean and that's sort of the same thing....
