THE SPYDER TWIN WISHBONE REAR SUSPENSION
SYSTEM SYSTEM (RSC) TO SUIT
LOTUS ELAN AND ELAN PLUS TWO MODELS
Our sophisticated rear suspension conversion offers remarkable improvements in reliability, handling and road holding. It takes full advantage of the latest tyre technology, exploiting lower aspect ratio tyres to the optimum. Irritants such as leaking rear struts, perished bump rubbers and broken circlip grooves in the bearing housings are a thing of the past. The rubber drive couplings have an easier life too, as rear wheel travel has been reduced to 6". The RSC also overcomes the difficulty of finding those obsolete or obsolescent rear end parts such as strut tubes, alloy hub carriers, upper spring seats etc. The lotocones - items which, more often than not, are supplied nowadays with non-original and incorrect tapered inner sleeves - are replaced by simple rubber bushings in the upper ends of the spring damper units. The RSC is easy to install and uses bushings, bearings and dampers already common to other Lotus cars.
