    Aftermarket Springs

    Hi everyone,

    My D should be arriving some time towards the end of June and I do know she has the "high nose" issue.

    So I'm looking into options regarding the different springs available on the market.

    Can owners post up side profile pics of the aftermarket springs they have used for comparison? Eibach, Delorean Performance Parts, etc. and also how they perform?

    Someone suggested that I should reset the standard springs to my desired ride height, but altering spring compression might cause an issue with the handling....?

    Thanks everyone.

    I have Martin's springs as well, and I really like them. Your front end seems to sit a bit lower than mine though. What kind of shocks do you have. My friend had similar results with Hervey's Easy riders. I have SPAX fitted.

    +1 for Martin's springs.

    Reasonably priced even with shipping and a perfect ride height.

    After 2 weeks I've got about 1 inch above the front tire and 1.5 inches above the rear (with stock rears and stock girlings all around).

    The picture has rear w/ stock springs and stock girlings, this has been fixed with SPAX all around and rear shock set at lowest thread.
    I need to post recent pictures.

    I just installed PJ Grady's Springs. He had a new batch made up. I really like the stance it gives, and with the new rubber, it will prob. settle another 1/4 inch. Whenever I am home again I will take a picture.

    Update, FYI, the total drop he states is around. 1 1/4 inches.
