Another S2 Suspension Review...

[juicetin]

Ive had mine fitted (usual great service from Horizon), and the improvement is quite incredible. It now glides over all but the biggest bumps in near silence and is stiffer, flatter and more composed on the road, and bump-absorbtion is excellent considering theres only a few inches of travel. It enables you to drive quicker due to the extra confidence gained from the improved handling. Only problem is with mine at the moment is that, whilst the front is lower at about 125mm, the back actually seems higher at about 150mm. Dont know why this is, i will call Steve Butts. I have the right brackets at the back.

Anyway, it's brilliant, in my opinion almost an essential upgrade for Elise S1 owners.

Glad you like it. I'm very happy with mine.

We're the circlips in the right position? It might explain the extra height at the rear.

Steve, i dont think you'll be disappointed. Words like "i just cant believe how quiet and compliant it is" will flow from your lips. Have you got the geo settings to use, make sure you get this done at the same time.

 

Cheers

Just sent an email to Steve B to enquire about ordering my set ....will there be any s1's on std suspension in a years time???

[Scott_Mac]

£300 - £350 is pricey mate... i've been offered it for less from folk upgrading to Nitrons, LSS etc.... Simon sold his for £150 on here.

 

EDIT

 

Only prob with doing that is:

 

a) the money

Getting the car there

 

Plus i want to sort out my clutch hose and stuff first and maybe braided brake hoses too.....

[Foley]

Justin, what geo settings did you go for in the end?

[juicetin]

Front camber 1 deg neg, front toe OUT 15 minutes total, rear camber 2 deg neg, rear toe IN 2 deg total.
