I'm in trouble :-) (not really)

[schreiber117]

Well, I am pleased to announce I just got engaged (YAY, HOORAY) and as a fun gift, my buddy who works at a dealership near me, let me take out a lotus they took on trade for a day.

WOW!!! Suspension and drive feel wise, that was just WOW!!!

well between paying for the wedding and other life expenses I had to say no (btw, if any one in Norcal wants a sweet deal on an 05 lotus with only 6k on the clock!!!! PM me)

now I need to do some serious suspension work. but budget minded. I've done a lot of reading on here, and just wanted some opinions, and honestly I'm also just telling everyone that I had a crazy day in a lotus.

I don't track the car (yet) and really won't be needing adjustability. just want a nice stiff ride that feels (And is) connected, also get rid of some body roll.

ok, have at it. I'm ready...

get yourself a rear sway bar and some stickier tires.

Before we got the Cross coilovers, we used to have Koni FSD's and TSW springs and the car really handled well on and off the track.

To get anywhere near the handling of a Lotus, add lightness.

Gut the car and get carbon fiber bodywork.

shedding weight is always an easy plus. again wedding in mind, I dropped 30lbs off the driver :-)

batrugger do you have any pictures of the car on that set up? hell if you still have that set up we may talk deal on used parts :-)

Budget minded: 19m rear sway bar and Koni Sport (w/ springs) Suspension (Yellows) Here is these for $779 and FREE SHIPPING http://www.rsaperformance.com/kospsukitmic.html
Oh and some Kumho XS or Dunlop Star Specs will help.
