Just bling, as far as I'm concerned. But others do seem to love a bit of bling.

These are the ones. I was thinking at that price, it'd be worth buying a new set for the shelf.

My location makes that a bit tricky. I might ping them an email and watch the stock list go down to zero while I wait for a reply. Or just sod it and buy them.

It is what it is I suppose; if they are, I'll move mine along on here at some point. If not, then it's a bargain!

Hmmmm.  There's a lot of thinking going on here.  What I'm after is a definitive answer as to the difference between NA and turbo shocks/spring ratings, as I'm in the market for new suspension all round.  Couldn't find that definitive answer using search unfortunately.

To the best if my knowledge shocks are the same on both front springs are the same rears are stronger on a turbo  
  I'm hearing you Chris.  But as the dampers on this site don't have springs on them for the turbo version, I'd like to know what springs I need to factor in.  Specifically, what were the spring ratings on the original turbo setup, as this is my preferred setup.
Horace, you're not that far from Larkspeed in Leeds. You could have a run up there & natter with them for your spring rates for VXt, still making a killing?

Pretty much guaranteed they wont unfortunately. I spoke to the guy organising and asked this already :)

It's all mainly the stuff Lotus would have got big discounts for in high volume.

They're having to order between 3 different departments of Lotus at the moment, so anything people order from Lotus Racing you'll probably be waiting a week or two while the stuff from the factory will be overnight.

In fact I paid yesterday at 10am and arrived this morning, lovely :)

Right, Gear Cables

These are the numbers on the GM sticker but I can't seem to find anything matching them in Google that points to NA or Turdo
