Introduction - Suspension Upgrades - Stage 4 - Pedal Box Lotus Suspension Upgrades Front Anti Roll Bar Dampers & Springs Front Steering Arms, Plates and Track Rods Stiffer Suspension Bushes Wishbone Replacement This package has been very popular with customers who have found a marked improvement in feel, handling and grip. They have also reported that they no longer have the steering wheel jumping out of their fingers whilst driving on normal roads. These kits work very well on the road, and are also highly enjoyable on the race track. Items can be ordered separately, but they do need to be fitted at the same time to get the maximum benefit. For information on Pilbeam's full suspension upgrade please visit Stage 4. Pilbeam Racing provides an assembly service and setup for your Lotus and set up sheets can be provided. Please contact us to discuss your requirements. Anti-Roll Bar A hollow roll bar and spherical joints greatly increases roll stiffness for a very small weight penalty. Spherical drop links allow for corner weight optimisation and mounts are also included. These attach both to standard Lotus and Pilbeam's own wishbones. Price: £396.00 Excluding VAT Steering Arm/Bumpsteer The new steering arm kit was developed because we found that the standard car tends to suffer from considerable bumpsteer. By utilising our own steering arms we can adjust, optimise or eradicate it. Price: £292.00 Excluding VAT Stage 1 - Dampers and Springs Koni adjustable dampers (type 3011) and springs are available. The roll bar and spring rates have been optimised during a lot of track testing to give very good traction, grip and ride. Price: £1600.00 Excluding VAT Stage 2 - Dampers and Springs A far lower weight than stage 1 is achieved as the damper is made from aluminium and bump and rebound adjustment can now be made while completely connected to the car. This is a Koni 2812, similar to those we fit to our touring cars, Le Mans sportscars and single seaters. Price: £2329.00 Excluding VAT Suspension Bushes The new suspension bushes fit straight into the standard wishbones as a direct replacement for the original items. They are about 60% stiffer, and this reduces unwanted wishbone flexibility by a corresponding amount, allowing the geometry to work as it should do. Racers may prefer to move on to the full wishbone replacement below. Price: £330.00 Excluding VAT Wishbone Replacement When really pushing hard on a race track, with sticky tyres, spherical bearings out perform the rubber suspension bushes, which still have some compliance. The bearings are of the same quality used in our LMP Sportscars and Hillclimbers. Hand fabricated wishbones result in a far higher quality which is significantly lighter and stronger than the originals. The toe link has also been re-designed, stopping the common Lotus rear failures. To allow fitment of these to the uprights we supply new bearing plates and spigots to locate in the spherical joints. Thus you do not keep the taper joints that are fitted in the standard cars’ upright. The geometry, is the same as Stage 1 and the recommended spring and damper rates remain unchanged. Price: Front Wishbones £1,246.00 Excluding VAT Price: Rear Wishbones £1,583.00 Excluding VAT For further information or to register interest please contact Pilbeam Racing Designs: info@pilbeamracing.co.uk +44(0)1778 424838
