340R.C - FRONT SUSPENSION
The 340R is fitted with the Elise Sport suspension package which includes adjustable spring platform
Koni dampers with the shorter and stiffer springs, and the uprated front anti-roll bar in Nylon chassis mounting
blocks. Standard Elise wishbones are used, but are powder coated silver, as are the steering arms and lower
ball joint plinths.
Two variations of suspension geometry are specified; one for road use (with Yokohama or Pirelli tyres);
and one optimised for track use with increased negative camber and toe settings. Ride height for both appli-
cations is common at 100mm front and 110mm rear, with sport kit steering rack positioning plates factory fitted.
The standard setting for the front anti-roll bar is the central of 5 available holes.
