Hello to all.
I am collecting information about the SR3 (I would sell my Noble M12 for a Radical) and would like to know if anyone has an image or a link that make me understand and see clearly the system of levers that composes the suspension system of a Radical SR3.
Thank you in advance and I ask you to excuse my English as an rookie.
Happy motoring at everybody's.

I m intrigued by the bar that connects the shock absorbers and was hoping to find a technical explanation.
It's a "no roll bar"!?!?
It's possible change ride height with this bar or only via springs?
Thankyou!
Kind regards!

It's a nik link Radicals take on a anti roll bar, they come in three different thicknesses front and rear.

If you're very good at 3D dynamic visualisation then you can look at one and understand it. If not, just remove the springs from the damper units, reconnect all the bits of gas pipe and, with the help of an assistant (preferably nubile), move the hubs around singly and together to see what happens. If that doesn't help, give up and play bridge. tongue out

In my experience the front seems to be quite sensitive to the grade of Link used whereas the rear seems relativley insensitive. And, just like Angus here, http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=22&... I've run on the hills without a rear link and enjoyed tolerable success.

At one stage Dax had something vaguely similar on the front of their cars.
