Wrightpayne Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Hi,I have a 1998 vintage S3 car with widetrack front suspension and wondered it a set of dampers from a metric chassis SV will fit?- Are the damper units the same?- Are the spring rates the same?I've looked in the relevant sections on the caterham parts website and couldnt find separate parts listed for SV and S3 - either springs or dampers. On the surface of it one size fits all (with the exception of the CSR).RegardsIan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon.Rogers Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Yes - so long as the S3 is widetrack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrightpayne Posted May 21, 2017 Author Share Posted May 21, 2017 I've researched and disagree that the spring/damper units are a direct swap.SV has different spring rates - fronts are 170 rather than 150 on the S3.Also Caterham list a different rear damper for 2003 onwards which I don't know what changes they made?
