Guys, I am looking at purchasing the Leda suspension for my S2 111S and the upgraded anti-roll bar. Have any of you fitted these yourself or do you know of any fitting guides on the net. Also will I get away with fitting this now and upgrading the wheels later to the motorsport OZ's and A048's. Foe your info out there I have just fitted the Janspeed exhaust and the PTP motorsport CAT. Now sounds like a sportscar should, I would recomend it to anyone looking for a little more noise. Oh, just one other thing, any recomended spring rates for the shocks. Mainly fast road work and some trackdays.
Cheers

You will be fine upgrading the suspension first - best way to do it IMHO as if you do the tyres/wheels first there will be too much grip for the std setup.

I wouldnt bother with the upgraded ARB - a few of the guys with the LSS fitted tried out a few settings last time we were at Elvington and came to the conclusion std was best.

I would go for the Nitron suspension for the S2 - its the best out there other than the Lotus set-up. Andy Walsh of www.1stlotus.com has/is developing it which has included hours of track time in his own S2111S. The price of £850 also includes a day on North Weald airfield setting it up (fully adjustable)

more info on the tech BBS at www.seloc.org
