The conversion tubes will not work, but you can have more grooves milled into the tubes.

There is a guy on the forum that does this...

Not too expensive

You may find more info about 2002 elises (rover engined) on www.seloc.org , since lotustalk is mostly federal elises

It'd be a hell of a lot easier to cut the grooves on a lathe though.

Wrong tool...

I dont think it would be possible to mill groves on the sides of a round object...

Lathe would take a matter of minutes.

Just wonder how it would effect the shock? Wouldnt it need to be re-valved?
