Looking for some advice
Looking for some advice
Hello!
It’s been a long time since I last had an Elise and I was wondering who to use for servicing etc.
I’ve never used the official Lotus dealer near Glasgow. Not sure what they’re like or how good they are.
I’m based in southwest Scotland but I’m happy to travel.
My latest Elise Sport 220 was purchased from Oakmere in Cheshire a few weeks ago.
Also, I’m looking to have a different suspension set up. I used to have Nitron and (I think) Eibach springs on my last Elise but not sure if they’re still the set up of choice among current owners. Basically looking for a fast road set up with a drop in ride height.
Lastly, I struggle to heel & toe in the Elise and apparently there is the possibility to have the accelerator height reduced. Doesn’t help that there is so much dead brake pedal travel, which is apparently common on the S3.
Again, is there anyone who you guys would recommend to make these adjustments and perhaps change the aforementioned suspension set up?
Any advice would be very much appreciated.
Cheers,
Cowan

Kenny did the suspension set up on mine too 
If you're not living on the edge you're wasting too much space!
