nothing wrong with Quantums Mr Slindy 

 

note the crossed out bit

 

too soon to determine if they are due a good yet

 

I always enjoy reading your posts, so keep them coming

exactly what I told someone the other day 

[siztenboots]

stuff like Magnetorheological fluid , that lets you vary the viscosity with a magnetic field

Except that's only really used in big saloons with sports buttons. Never seen that in a sports application, mostly (I suspect) because if the valving is designed correctly then there is no need to modify the viscosity of the fluid. One that changes as a response to fluid temperature to keep viscosity constant however, may be interesting.

How do Aston and the like do their stiff suspension settings with buttons?

button off = stiff, button on = who put scaffold poles instead of dampers

[fezzasus]

button on = springs no longer matched to damper response.

Few questions Re. the Exige Set up:

 

• How much is the Exige set-up?
• Assume purchase from Lotus? or Another source?
• Is it a direct replacement, no modifying needed?

Cheers

Few questions Re. the Exige Set up:

 

• £200 - £400 per set typically
• Yes, or they come up used in various conditions
• Direct replacement. Static ride height slightly bigger.

If you are going to buy exige or 111r stuff then register on seloc and get some lightly used stuff. I got some a couple of years ago with 2000miles on them for £220.

Come on Slind, you of all people must know that these buttons are - half the time - a pure placebo with no real effect. Or a time-limited effect before resorting to 'automatic' damping
