Thanks Rolf, I might ask some more questions about the cutting and reworking I was hoping the street series would work. This is getting pretty expensive
Are you happy with the Club Sport Rolf?
Looks like the Street Series will not fit, but the Fast Road will
Lotus Elise S2/S (Toyota) (05- ) NTR Fast Road 40mm Suspension Kit
I use mine as a daily driver with maybe a couple of autoslalom events a year. So I think they look pretty perfect.
Seems like I will have to do the same modification. I don't really get what the problem is. Does the passenger side front damper fit perfectly, but not the driver side?
Thanks again, but is it because the Nitron dampers are to wide? I don't understand how the right side can fit perfectly, but not the left?
Correct me if I’m totally wrong but I’m pretty sure the bracket that bolts the shock is supplied with the new shocks as they are wider than the originals on the roadster and the lotus. The part re-used is the ABS holder and that’s grafted to the new bracket supplied with the front shocks. I don’t believe you keep the shock mount from either side.
Got my dampers some days ago and am getting ready to install now. I just ordered them directly from Nitron.
Even though they do not have Tesla on the site they already had finished kits that were ready to install and they recommended the Fast Road kit, since the closest thing I do to track racing is some autoslalom events.
I did notice that the spring rates on mine were different from @Rolf68 ?
R: Spring rate fitted front : 450 lbs Helper 250 lbs - H: Spring rate fitted front : 550 lbs Helper 150 lbs
R: Spring rate fitted rear: 600 lbs Helper 300 lbs - H: Spring rate fitted rear: 700 lbs Helper 150 lbs
So the total on the front is the same, but back is 50lbs less. Wonder how this will affect the drive.
As mentioned hereJust want to inform others who might read this thread in search for Nitrons on the Tesla Roadster.
"Lotus Elise S2 (K-Series) (02-05) NTR Race 1-Way 46mm" as mentioned above is for the Rover based Lotus (K-Series). The Tesla Roadster is based on the Toyota version of the lotus made from 2004+.
The difference of the Rover and the Toyota version of the shocks is that the Rover (K-series) are 6cm (2,36 inches) shorter than the Toyota ones, which are used on the Roadster.
I learned this the hard way, just want to inform so others don't make the same mistake
