Elise Suspension

[cunni_c]

Just had my Elise 98R in for a 20,000 mile service to be informed that my tyres are wearing unevenly due to sagging springs. I'm informed that the ride height is now slightly lower and the handling will be affected. According to the dealer Lotus have modified the springs on post '99 models. Has anyone come across this problem and a cost effective solution ?

Well having spoken to a few dealers the unanimous response was that they had never heard of sagging springs on an Elise. One dealer did say the following: "earlier elise models have been known to distort their rear damper top mounts but this has since been modified". Sounds like Williams automobiles have either got facts wrong or were trying it on. I'll let you know the outcome once I've challenged them.
