Will a track pack suspention work on a 05 Elise - LotusTalk

V-RAPTOR · 10-05-2009, 01:32 PM

Will a Bilsteins and Eibach springs from the track pack from a 2008 Exige work on a 05 Elise?
If so is it a easy bolt on / find a spot for the front reservoir?

Has anyone done this modification?

Installation of the tack pack may result in a slow loss of air pressure

Wow I guess I should have read what I wrote.

You all got me!

V-RAPTOR · 10-05-2009, 02:04 PM

Ok I sent racytracy a PM to see if she would be kind enough to change it for me.

Chris Mackey · 10-05-2009, 03:20 PM

What about the Smack Pack?

It's what you get when you make a mistake around here.

turbophil · 10-05-2009, 03:45 PM

I didn't know the track pack worked on an Exige??? Not sure why it would work on an Elise either

After all the razzing sombody should at least try to give him a straight answer. I am fairly confident it will bolt right up, but not 100%. Sombody more knowledgable should chime in...

V-RAPTOR · 10-05-2009, 05:00 PM

Thank you aschen

I did deserve it and it was funny but back on tack

Well, the LSS suspension is essentially what comes with the Track Pack, and the manual has a parts list and a procedure to upgrade, so...

I'd vote yes.
