[DeTomaso] suspension changes

[Mike Drew]

Guy,

Alignment settings changed first. The car was set up to understeer at the limit. 

Halfway through production the shocks were changed from quality Aristons (which I'm told are identical to Konis, perhaps built under license?) to cheaper non-adjustable Telecars.  I don't think that had any effect on handling though. 

Sway bars were unchanged.  Euro cars got a bigger rear bar as an option only, on the GTS.
