After all the chat on suspension refreshes is it worth sorting a group buy for things like lock tab washers, camber shims, abs brackets, ball joints, bushes, drop lnks etc.
Bolt kits come from JG though!
I'll send this off to lotus for pricing if there's enough interest.

Potentially interested in this FLD, though for me I'm in no real rush - can wait until the new year quite happily.

I'm currently looking at the suspension refresh kit from seriously lotus, if you do a group buy for a similar full monty then I'd be interested. Although I actually already bought the JG bolt kit...!

Okely dokely. Looks like after xmas is preferable. The plan would be to do parts as required rather than a comprehensive kit. This way you could get a few shims right up to a full kit. I'll try and darw up a few lists (yay!) so that everyone can organise with a view to ordering say mid jan ready to go in feb?? Parts will be OE lotus only.

Paul has come up with this as a front suspension refresh 'kit'. These are all latest spec lotus parts. The numbers in brackets are from the parts diagram.
FRONT SUSPENSION
4 x Ball joints (22)
8 x Wishbone bush (9/14)
2 x ABS Bracket (8)
6 x Shim (7)
2 x Drop link (36)
4 x Carrier bolt (5/6)
Retail £386.00
Spec offer £225.00 + vat
Is this any good? Should I get him to do a rear version? I think it will be a major ball ache to price everything up individually but we may be able to tag on the odd thing here and there.

I would be interested in the ABS brackets and camber shims all around, but only those, if you could supply those?
