    Adjustable rear links

    So my rear springs have sagged a little. While that sounds like a bad thing, I like the stance of the car. I had allready got adjustable coil overs up front to lose the off road look. I should do the same thing in the rear, but in any case, when the rear goes down the geometry of the suspension increases the camber on the rear tires. I know some people like those Hondas with extreme camber, but I hate it. Mine had visible camber.

    The answer is adjustable links.

    I ordered a set of rear lower links from Delorean Ind. I don?t know how many of you have ordered stuff that they manufactured, but everything they make is a work of art worthy of displaying on your coffee table. These are no different. The proprietor (Josh) seems to have a philosophy that if it can be made of stainless, that?s what he does. I share this feeling.

    After removing the old links, made the new link the same length to start. Then I adjusted them shorter by 3/8?. This is the best I could measure on how far out mine were. These links are adjustable after you install them because they have right and left hand threads like a turn buckle. Note , the old links don?t look bad after 40 years and 100 thousand miles.

    On the car the wheels are square to the world now.

    You might see a slight gap at the top of the tire, but that is just tire bulge at the bottom. The rim is square.

    I will never give them another cent. I have never dealt with such a lying, arrogant, thief of a business owner ever. Many know of the horror story with one of my cars under their care.
