I think you'll find Bob's busy with brakes at the moment getting them to those who want to buy them. This is still at the concept stage although I know he has continued to engage with Bilstein and Eibach. Patience :wink: .

LOL, Bob knows i`m joking as i`ve hinted to him a few times through email whilst he`s done other things for me :-D It must be a full time job with doing all these group buys for us LECers. I`m just hoping he doesn`t do anymore group buys so he can concentrate on the suspension upgrade :-D

Blair, Yep i have spent enough money but i`m not happy with the handling of the Pink bomb, i`m planning on doing 3/4 trackdays back end of the year (as there cheaper :wink: )

Could this sort out the ride height too?

i can get the width of my palm between the lip of the wheelarch and the top of the wheel, whilst it would look alot better riding lower

IIRC Bobs intention is to Design the setup so the Elan Sits 15mm lower but IIRC Bob told me the Dampers will be adjustable for height but the damper settings will be preset (i think i`ve got that right :? )

It`s possible that yours has the federal spec damper/springs fitted :?

Looking forward to having a good design suspension set up :wink:

Preferably i would like dampers you can adjust. Also I take it that the dampers would be off of the Bilstein product range and not specials.

Got to sort the handling out on my car. After driving other members cars on the IOM I now know what i'm missing. 20 year old springs don't help and having the fed dampers which i really don't think are a suitable substitute for the UK spec car.
Could the 'Hokey-Cokey' actually be what it's all about?
