Track pack is adjustable (EZ adjustment-nothing confusing) and is the set up I would suggest getting for street, or street to mild track use, if you can find it at a good price (note #1). It will adjust from quite soft (bumpy streets) to firmer then you will need for any track (beginner to medium user). I have track pack and like it a lot. Personally I don’t see why there is a sports pack. If you are in to driving enough to look at a Lotus and desire a bit more in the suspension department then the standard shock set up offers, then to me go for something adjustable. The standard set up is a vary good street set up, and offers massive fun on and off a track. It is definitely not a bad set up by any means. If you know more about driving or wish to learn more about driving (going to a driving school or tracking) then you may want something more.
The track pack will adjust from soft, about that of standard (a 2-1 setting), to sport pack (about a 4-3 setting), to vary stiff (a 10-9 setting). 10 being the stiffest, and the front of the car set 1 setting higher then the rear. The balance of the car is different then the standard set up but the 2-1 setting is about the same firmness. I tend to use a 3-2 setting for most of my daily driving. And yes I do play with it for special occasions, like a nice mountain road. I have over 54,000 miles and just pasted the 2-year mark. I found the sports pack to stiff for that much road use but wanted a stiff sports car set up when it was time for it.
The standard set up has skinnier wheels up front then the sport/track pack. Tire sizes is sort of a bitch when trying to find a replacement other then the stock Yoko tire. The stock base Yoko tire the AD07 can also be a bitch to find even if you like it (it is a vary good tire). Look through the suspension part of this site and you will get an idea of what’s up.
Depending on how you will use the car, love the feeling of a good light well sorted sports car, to getting closer to a cars limits and learning how to play with it, will determine if the standard set up is what you want or not.
Note #1, If you are vary in to going to the track or a more custom street set up, get the sport pack and up grade the shocks to the ones that fit you the most. If you are vary in to suspension set ups the track pack will not be good enough and so maybe not worth it dollar wise.
