V6 Exige Rear GT Uprights (40mm Drop)
Be the first to write a review
V6 Exige Race GT Uprights.
A significant improvement in handling for V6 Race cars especially if running lower than standard ride height.
This latest design is the ultimate upright for the highly modified V6 Exige Race car.
The complete unit can be supplied pre-assembled and can include a New BEARING packs with speed / ABS sensors if required and our special High Tensile Cap Head bolts.
Please note these uprights are not for road cars as they cannot be used in conjunction with the original handbrake assembly.
Eliseparts have been manufacturing billet uprights for over 16+ years and in this time we have developed and improved the design with the help of Lotus Motorsport .
Our uprights are installed and raced on over 300 Lotus race and track cars throughout the world.
These GT Uprights address several design issues the original uprights suffer from and allow lower suspension settings.
The centre hub has been repositioned 40mm higher thus allowing up to a 40mm drop in ride height without any change in wishbone angle.
This is VERY significant as it keeps the correct wishbone angles and greatly improves low ride height stability.
For example if you want your vehicle to run at 95mm ride height, this will need a 40mm drop which will change the wishbone angle by up to 6 degrees, whereas with these uprights that angle will not change at all for the same ride height.
We have found the ideal ride height for a V6 Race car to be 90-95mm front and 95-100mm rear.
The hub upright itself has been also been designed to facilitate 2 degrees more camber than the Original upright allows.
You will notice a vast difference in the handling characteristics and your car will be greatly improved with this relatively simple change.
Several companies have tried to emulate these but none offer all of the advantages and simplicity of ours especially at the price.
