A must have for any DeLorean
I got the Gen 6 version of these braces and wow what a difference they make to how the car feels. There is a tremendous improvement in the stability of the front wheels while going down the road. It is much easier to control where the car is going with these braces. It only took me about an hour to install them. I was also very impressed with the build quality. As another reviewer said, these things should be a mandatory safety upgrade.

Excellent LCA braces
These LCA braces look great and really help stabilize the front end. They were very easy to install. My alignment shop tech likes the added adjustability they offer too.
-
LCA supports
These supports are very well built and make a huge difference in how the car feels even during normal day to day driving. One of the top “must have” DeLorean upgrades.

Lower Control Arm Support
Night and day difference when hitting any sizable bump or pothole. Before the wheel would be jerked violently when hitting a large bump. Now it stays solid. Expensive but well worth it in my opinion.

Spec Front Lower Control Arm Support
This is an amazing product and a game changer. Once installed on my car steering and braking became transformational! I have more confidence in tight turns and feel the stability and handling improved greatly. A must for anyone who wants take their car to the next level.

DeLorean Industries' Lower Control Arm Suspension Support Links
These suspension links from DeLorean Industries are made from stainless steel. They have heim joints at the ends of each rod for improved suspension geometry, handling, and braking performance. Pretty slick. Also, pretty easy to install. You do not need to remove the control arms or shocks. There are two linkages per LCA, one forward, one behind. They are length-adjustable (turnbuckle) with a jam nut on each end to fine-tune your front alignment. Stabilizes the factory single-point connection LCAs and reduces front end vibrations significantly. Braking was improved tremendously. There are a couple LCA-upgrade solutions out there that are intended to improve handling and braking. This linkage setup from DPI is what the majority of the performance car industry uses. The other solutions out there are the control arm "brackets", which lack the adjustability of the DPI product. We did a ton of research before we made the purchase and these LCA links from DPI are legit suspension components. All the high-end performance upgrades out there for other cars are of the same or similar design as these. We found nothing out there for other cars that even resembled the LCA brackets available elsewhere. As such we did not feel comfortable buying them. These are two clearly distinct products.

Should be a mandatory safety item
There are a few items available for the DeLorean that I consider to be mandatory safety/reliability upgrades that every owner should consider. Convex mirrors are an example, as the blind spots in these cars is terrible. These LCA supports are another example. My stock LCAs were boxed with new bushings and handled okay. My wife's car has aluminum LCAs made in the 90s that are supposed to be an upgrade from stock. Both cars still suffered from highway pulsating vibrations that are common to these cars. Both cars would deflect slightly under panic stops, especially at high speeds. My car tried to steer me into a tractor trailer when I had to brake hard on the highway. These supports fixed all of that. I now have no problem throwing them into turns or taking them for spirited drives because I know the front suspension isn't going to flex and cause me to have to compensate. The car goes where it's supposed to, just like a car should.

This is a must for spirited driving and braking
I just recently installed these along with my spec performance braking and handling package and These Bars eliminate the flexing of the lower control arm allowing for a more solid ride along with much more control when performing heavy stopping and turning and in turn helps the front prevent less roll when in a sharp turn. Since I've had these on my car now for over 2 months I will say that my car has never handled better in its life then as it does now with these bars along with the new coil over suspension he sells!
