S1 Elise spring/damper recommendations
Discussion
Hello.
I have an S1 Elise with a leaky damper.
My problem is it's got factory supplied height adjustable Konis (the LSS option maybe - the rest of the car is Sport 160 spec) and it seems there aren't any of these new anywhere.
I'd rather keep it original, but given I can't, I need recommendations for replacement springs and dampers.
I'd like something similar to what I have now, I desperately don't want to cock up the ride and handling and I want something that isn't going to fall to bits after a couple of winters (I drive all year, on B-roads mostly, if that helps).
I do sprints in the Elise, but I'd rather much rather compromise track performance than ruin my commute.
I'm also currently toying with selling the Elise so something that won't put off potential buyers would be good.
Budget is not a problem, but I don't want to waste money on race spec bits I don't really need. Or save money buying st.
I dread asking the Internet, especially on a forum that suggested a tricycle on my "tyres for my motorbike" thread, but who else can I ask?
Help please. Thanks.
