[quote=series_one][quote=Azrael]I run everything Pilbeam has for the Elise/Exige!
One thing you MUST keep in mind is that these uprights/hubs etc are designed around S2 measurements. So getting the hubs with the S1 PCD on is a bit of a waste of time. Fitting S2 wheels isn’t ideal either. I ended up having to get custom wheels to make it all fit my S1.[/quote]
Surprised to hear this. Whats the reason behind it? I thought AndyD/Russ’ old car had the Pilbeam set up (or is it just wishbones?) and DaveOz/Wombat 1 too and neither had bespoke wheels made? Although I seem to remember Dave having problems during fitting iirc.

DaveOZ runs the eliseparts wishbones/uprights.
I do seem to remember someone having fitting issues with pilbeam bits but don’t remember who. That surprises me though considering the work that Pilbeam have done on Lotus’ and I wouldn’t expect problems if I could afford to put all their kit on my car.
The hardest thing I have found is actually buying stuff from Pilbeam. I have tried on two separate occasions to give them my money (once for a rose jointed drop link kit, the second time for a full car set of wishbones, uprights and brakes) and on both occasions he just wouldn’t take it or commit to an order. I gave up in the end. That was a few years ago though now.
