Best Elise suspension mod ever - FREE!

Post by Bada Bing! » Sat Dec 01, 2007 4:27 pm

Each of my tyres were down about 3psi today, so I pumped them back up and took it for a drive. It still astounds me how sensitive the Elise is to tyre pressures. It actually absorbs bumps properly without that horrible cracking sound from the suspension arms, and it turns in keener too.

I check my pressures reasonably regularly but since the weather's been rubbish I haven't bothered for a month or two. What a difference!

Must admit I'm sometimes run them a bit low if just trundling about town.

Then a squirt before a serious blast and it's like having a new car again 8)

Just the standard AD07's, with 26psi on the fronts and 29psi on the rears. The whole thing just feels much sturdier and nicer on turn-in. :)
