I had a look at them but didn't take any pics. They look nice, but I'm not convinced ally is the right material for them.

Josh bengston had some nice stainless ones too.

Personally I think they should be looking at making a proper lower wishbone kit, like mr monk has done to his car, otherwise your still going to have the flex under braking problems.

I agree. Aluminum no matter how thick, has huge alterations to temperatures.
I'd go with stainless or enforced stock.

Nice images Dan!!!

They are too expensive for me anyway but they look great.

Regarding that lower wishbone set up deloeran12uk has I regret not doing something similar to my car before the frame off.

I'll go with Ed's kit eventually.

I know a guy in germany who puts his delorean to the limit hitting 200kmh on the autobahn. He said before Ed's kit he felt like he was running on front flat tires!

Ed's front wishbone support does a great job keeping on straight as an arrow!

My next 300€ are going to Ed!

I have Ed's front suspension brackets, his PU bushings, and the DPNW sway bar kit. And it makes a hell of a difference under braking conditions.
