Gary G Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 My rear springs have 2 platforms which I presume allow the them to be adjusted. However my front springs only have 1. Does this mean the front springs are not adjustable? C7 GAR id=red> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby dooby doo Posted June 4, 2002 Share Posted June 4, 2002 the adjustable platform kit has the two metal collars (which have gaps round the edge or holes in the perimeter to put in a tool to adjust them) and a sleeve for the shock with a thread covering its outside. Non adjustable ahs no sleeve (so the shock body is smooth) and only one platform with no adjusting holes.

Mark Piper Posted June 4, 2002 Share Posted June 4, 2002 Gary, it struck me as odd when I saw these on your car. I originally had non adjustables on my car and uprated them to adjustables all round. The spring seats for the non adjustables are significantly smaller than those for adjustables, certainly smaller than yours are. Equally Caterham have changed the spec pof the adjustables (Al has the platforms with the holes in them rather than the notches for example). It sounds a bit stupid to have adjustables on only one end, so to speak and I'm sure someone out there knows whether this is the norm. As a Superlight, your car shold have adjustables all round as I'm sure you know....have you checked to see whether your wings are carbon or glassfibre, I knew ther was a reson I didn't buy that red Superlight at Caterham...wink.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary G Posted June 4, 2002 Author Share Posted June 4, 2002 I've got the notches cut out of the platforms on the front, but only one not two platforms??! Might phone the previous owner as he seemed to know his stuff last time we spoke. Mark, I won't rise to the bait on your last comment! Just going outside to check there's still oil in my engine...wink.gif C7 GAR id=red> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
