That said, i do agree with Ailwyn here....
....I haven't actually counted, but i'm sure that if I did, there would be perhaps more than a dozen recent (within last 6 months) threads which have wondered all over the place, but have all started out on the thorney subject of Elan suspension. (also a fair few from EKTB who is now a pot turned kettle in saying that TWR is contradicting himself
).I actually believe that the standard set-up is more than adequate for road use, given a sensible (not necessarily gifted/tallented) driver who can appreciate the limitations of himself, the car and the road conditions. As such, i would offer myself in the blue elan as aa shining beacon to all road users
That said, many people want to use the car on track, and i don't believe any of them actually expect to see themselves overtaking many elise/exiges by putting a set of shocks on the car, but rather they will be trying to improve the experience for themselves, and cut down their own times as oposed to worrying about how quick was Sir Stirling Moss.
Many may wish to have the same settings for road use, or at least be prepared to put up with the diminished comfort on the for the increased confidence on the track (or twisty country lanes, if you want to drive lots faster than is safe/sensible).
Like TWR, Ray and Bob, i have spent many years tinkering with settings, some of which i understood, some i learned along the way, and some which i have only recently been educated on, but i am still learning!
My position has been stated already - Angie likes her car the way it is set-up at the moment, I prefer mine - but if i can find a reasonable cost way to keep the comfort and increase the confidence in roadholding, then great. If it happens to be a set of custom dual rate springs with currently available shocks, or even adapted shocks to take currently available springs, or a totally new bilstein/eibach system, so be it - but i'm also pretty sure that not many other people would want what i do - For example, Nige would want/need something different for his track S2, Monty will want his SE better on track, Dico will spend all his money on something else to keep in the shed (pots/kettles again
)....... but they/we are all starting from different baselines - Nige has had his car from new, and it has been looked after, Monty has heavilly modified his, Dico never takes his out, and mine has had a hundred owners, covered a million miles and gets to stay outside, and get used, every day........so at the end of the day, we all want/need something a bit different, but all want an improvement - well, no-one said this project would be quick or easy, so lets just see where it goes, and please.........
.....try and play nice
I'm disapointed really in this highly knowledgable forum !! 
, but my experience goes back to supplying the tyres on your old boss's (Alan Minshaw) production saloon car.Working with many Car manufacturers and various racing teams I picked up a good deal of "production" suspension tweek's on my way to supplying almost all the winning sports and saloon cars of that era over a six year period when tyre choice was "list one of the blue book" ie free. I also road rallied (slowly because I believed it was too dangerous) Stage rallied at National and International level (badly because I wasn't brave or good enough
