What's the M400 come with as standard suspension - mine has some red Penske adjustable shocks with matching red springs. Are these standard or has someone changed them before me.

no that's not standard. Is yours a blue m400? I looked at a few before I bought mine and I seem to remember a nice blue one with silver wheels having those shocks along with exhaust mods. Carl was the owner I think.

Hi David,
I hope everything is well with you and the Noble?
I was led to believe that the suspension wasn't 'as standard' when I purchased it but I couldn't locate the original owner for confirmation....

Eibach were std fitment IIRC,
Some people didn't like the "firm" ride so fitted aftermarket.
Personally I found the M400 set up perfect, though I did have the uprights machined for camber adjustment (more for tyre wear than anything else) and geo setup a tad more aggressive.
I think it would be hard to find a more compliant ride from such a focussed car, if anyone wants proof of that, take a lotus Exige out for a test drive!!

My M400 has Racing Dynamics which were standard on some cars. They are anodised blue alloy units and provide good ride and handling.
