Default Everyone with DMS springs come in here.

I have a set of DMS (Dynamic Motor Sports) springs I bought a month or 2 ago. Still finishing everything else up on the car before I install them. I need pics. of peoples cars with them installed and your feedback on them. I'm in debate weather or not to use them. I like my stranos on my other car; just wished they would have sit a little lower. Please post pics with all info. shocks/struts and if the rear isolators are in or out. Thanks

DMS are not too bad, i have them on my car, ride like crap now because my shocks are destroyed(normal Blistien HDs) but the stance is amazing it gives the car a mean look. Im in class now but my car is in the garage at school, ill snap some photos for ya. My fronts look way lower then this other guys car, prolly from the K.O.'d shocks

No, I did the heater hose mod in the rear. As long as the road is paved it rides great. I've had them on close to 2.5 years now. The rear is a little squeaky but I think its due to the stock shocks.

I believe they are out of business, it is just a mirror site still operational. And the parts you get are actually GMS products

If you mean Granatelli by GMS, you always got granatelli parts... Granatelli made DMS's springs.

I got mine for christmas two years ago, but they were ordered directly from DMS. I heard they were out of business, but i've heard of people still getting them.

Old 10 spokes


New TTII's, 17x11 rears. Sorry for the cell phone pic on this one.

Granatelli owns dms. I ordered from that number on the web site. They answered "DMS". The receipt said granatelli though. So I called and they said they owned dms and that they were dms springs.

i hated mine b/c they were too low. although that had more to do with a compressed shock(100% of the time) and a broken shock mount.

i switched to QA1's and stockers.

Lol I love the way that silver car sits with the florida tag. Thats the car that actually made me want these springs. Are your stockers cut or is there actually that much to work with just from shocks?

those 2 pics are the same car. the stockers are untouched as far as i know. theres the 9" and heater hose mod to work with too. i had to have some height for 28" tires, and the exhaust was scraped up until i replaced it, so the DMS were cutting it too close for me. This is just one of the most recent clean pics i have, the front rake has since been fixed too.

Nice paint job. Im not worried about tires at the moment so hopefully they will work for me. I was just worried about them being a harsh ride. I had stranos on my last car and they rode great just wanted to sit a little lower this time. I had H&r supersports on an old mustang and got beat to death everytime I drove it. My buddies sportlines are similar.

So is it not a real HOSS?
