R400 Options and Spec

[mic]

Cars were using nothing special, same suspension you get when you buy the car.

When you buy the car you can spec either - I suspect that's why subirg asked the question.Most Caterham press cars I've come across have had all the bits fitted so I'm suprised their current ones don't.

OK, standard R400 suspension.

Which is fully adjustable, but not quite as good

The trackday/race dampers MUST be LOADS better, I mean Caterham say so and charge £1k for them!

When you look at the wide track suspension you will notice on the top of the damper there is an “extender” which is a fudge by CC to keep the same damper unit

I note on some Superlights using longer springs the extenders have been removed by company’s like Freestyle to improve the setup, the best option is a replacement damper

You can get suitable £400 dampers from CC, but they charge £1,000…only joking

Ouch! - so the base price for the car (factory built) has already gone up by £1000 to £28,495. Fortunately, if you already have an order in at the initially quoted £27,495 Caterham are honouring that price. Which is nice.
