Ok guys, little help. I can get the S2 Billies kit for my S1 from B&C on the SELOC group buy, which will put the ride height to 130/130. Couple of questions.

How do i find out my current ride height, as in where to measure from and too.

If i buy these brackets from Eliseparts do i have to do i have to get the damper spring platforms adjusted to give the correct spring pre-load to give the required ride height? http://www.eliseparts.com/shop/index.php?main_page...
Or will they just fit straight on, if so what will the ride height become.

Cheers

on a level surface, measure from the corners underneath the ally tub to the floor - look on the Seloc techiwki for a better explanation

you can do it with or without weight...better with weight as thats how you drive - dont wont to set it too low and get in the car and then you cant get over speedbumps etc, so Id suggest at least 1 x 75kg weight in the pax seat, if you have passengers a lot, then 1 x 75kg in each seat before setting and measuring

According to the lotus service manual you need 2 persons in the car and half a tank of gas when measuring the ride height.
