For diffuser lovers:





The engine bay looks surprisingly stock on the Elise - but I will snap a few shots...

Thats one beautiful car. I saw an orange one the other day and never really realized how small and low they were.

Beautiful

 

The wheel gap looks even more extreme than I've seen in other photos:

 

It had all of 4 miles on it - and the 16's exaggerate it as well. I already have a couple hundred miles on it, and it has settled a little.

Some impressions:

The sport suspension is noticeably firmer, and I could swear they have a little toe out in the front too.

The sport button makes the car almost darty - I like it.

The brakes are leaps and bounds better than the R53 (as well they should be).

It is a lot easier to park than the Dodge 2500 Ram Cummins!

The R53 radio is light years better to use than the R56.

I still don't like the turn signal operation.

It is fast, stock!

More to come...

 

When will you have lowering springs? I cant seem to find any in the US yet for the R56.

 

H&R has part numbers in their USA system for lowering springs [1.4" drop] and the 1st release of coilovers [1.5" drop], however according to an H&R distributor they won't end up being available until April-ish. Eibach also has a set of lowering springs [only a 1" drop, booo], but no info on USA availability yet.

 

Randy! you bringin' this bad boy to Vegas??
We gotta black out them headlights to go with that roof!!!

Im general, what is the cost of lowering springs + installation ...a ballpark figure.

Thanks.

dean.

 

Once the H&R springs become available in the U.S., the going price will be about $215, with shipping typically about an hour to 90 minutes worth of labor. Obviously you'll have to contact Randy once the springs become available...unless he's starting a wait list? *hint*

 

I'll start a wait list...

Check it out here to sign up.

On the Vegas - absolutely! We are driving it out with all of the tools loaded in back!

See you soon,
Randy

 

Hello Randy,
Nice looking car.

Can I get status on the Unichip module that was supposed to be overnighted last week?

Scott

 

Sure Scott - I will get tracking numbers for you tomorrow and e-mail them to you.

Thanks!
Randy

 

Randy: Please check your PMs

 

Why order the Sport suspension if you're going to replace it?
Just checking out the 'competion' from the factory?

 

The take offs will certainly give me a stock suspension, so I needed to have the sport to be able to compare.

90% of my customers will use springs, and not coilovers, so I need to be able to offer feedback for both suspension set ups.

Hope that helps!
Randy
