Suspension Geometry and Alignment Setup for All Models

One of the most important aspects of any lightweight sports car is the ride and handling, and Lotus lead the way. The flexible setup of the Elise, Exige and 2-Eleven gives an excellent range of adjustment opportunities to get the best from the car, depending of course on your intended purpose.

We have geometry specifications for all Lotus vehicles from factory standard settings to more aggressive track day and race settings.  Many customers are surprised at just how much difference they see in their road-going cars when the geometry is correctly set. 

Our state-of-the-art 4-wheel alignment system allows us to quickly establish your current geometry and identify problem areas quickly and effectively.  Modifications to geometry or wheel alignment can be made quickly and accurately saving you both time and money.

Please note that all servicing prices quoted below include parts, labour and VAT so there are no hidden extra costs for you to calculate.  The price you see is the price you pay:
