How much front suspension travel?
Hi all,
How much suspension travel does the standard build get?
I don't know the technical terms, but if could give me how far it goes up from 'rest' and how far it goes down from 'rest' that'd be good.
I want to do a McPherson strut mod, and have to draw it all up before hand for approval from they-that-know
Thanks...

somewhere between 2-1/2 and 3-1/2 inches up and down from the normal ride height ( i.e. with your weight, half a tank of fuel, coolant, etc included)
is about right.
The Caterham uses a 6 inch stroke damper on the rear and the elise has suspension travel of about 4-1/4 inches at the front and 4-3/4 at the rear.
Hope that helps.
