ideas and thoughts please.
the first prob is when ordering the nitrons with ebachi springs i quoted my car was an s1 elise, well its now an exige (with kit) and the thing is way to high, guy at nitron suggested lowering it as far as poss (without causing the sprigs to rattle loose when jacked upp) if this does not work the i will need the brackets off eliseparts etc…any one thoughts>? done it ? been there? etc
2nd my wheels again i quoted i had an elise and not an exige so the dish is way out, elise parts are sendin me 3mm spacers to try but i dont think it will work and the biggest spacer with extended bolts also looks like it wont work so im prob lookin at new wheels (again) can someone reply with the full sizes for wheels on s1 exige including the dish? i think…16x195 front and 17x225 rear although im now thinking a wider rear tyre for rear what you think? (runnin honda)

Helper springs? Currently running with 3" 4lb helpers on my ohlins to allow me to get the ride height I want without the main springs unseating on full droop. They run fully compressed, and with the adapter plate add about 15mm to the length of the main spring, so you may also need shorter main springs.
for the arches i have plans to buy a truck (large) wheel arch liner . then molest it to fit the elise one and make em wider. cheapest ive found exige s1 arch liners is 62 quid plus vat at b&m tooooooooo much
