Im close to deciding on getting off the Bilsteins on my SV for an aftermarket setup.

Whenever I look around 7's at meets, its very rare to see alternatives fitted and I just wondered why.

Someone told me that generally Caterham owners are pretty conservative and dislike non factory stuff, IDK.

I know what Im planning, but just wondered who has played this game, thought about making the change or had anything to add ?

Under damped and over sprung is how I feel as well.

I have also spoken at length to Simon.

I’m looking for others thoughts on the situation

Simon’s advice was to mirror what a friend has, as his car and use are very similar to mine

Core one with digressive fronts and pregreasive rear springs ….

Pretty much what my friend said, but it was only a few clicks and he was happy.

If I do the rear corner push down test on both, his car is compliant where mine is virtually solid.

Fine on a track, but not todays stty B roads, they need compliance to go quick on
