    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.

    Don?t suppose you have a link to a thread that describe what happened. It would be nice if he told his side of the story also. Not saying you are lying, but having owned a small manufacturing business and a restaurant, I know that some customers are impossible to please. 99% of my customers would say I?m the most upstanding guy they know. 1% of my customers would say I have no morals or ethics. Usually, it was people that have never owned their own business that have unrealistic expectations.

    In any case, Delorean Ind. has been very good to me so far.
