I guess if you know how to tune 3 way dampers, go for it. Having a 3 way is no guarantee of perfection though. Even though I know all the theory of damper tuning, I feel I would just chase my tail trying to set it up. Suspension can be a bit of a black art with cars to me. I had 2 way penskes on another car and felt like I never got the full benefit from them.

Don't forget to add in the spring rate from the bushes. Not sure how much that adds. But obviously they limit both droop and compression in theory. My S3 with track pack has 250/215 spring rates. With my damper and low ride height, I have a lot more droop than compression, esp up front. I know I must be in the bump stops a lot but I've never felt a "hard" hit like I've bottomed the shock, even smashing curbs/G outs on track. That said, why not just try the track pack shock/damper setup from caterham. My car is 1200lbs and it works very well on track. The damping is well-matched to the spring rate. It feels quite stiff on road (it's no cruiser), but good on track. Definitely wouldn't want it any softer on track though. With your car being heaver and street-focused, they could be a good setup for you. Why re-engineer what caterham has presumably already worked out?

White or black. Anything else is naff. -
AFAIK the towing and club membership is all wrapped into the policy. It was a flatbed. The magazine ain't bad either.

Another perk of Hagerty is the free towing - I had to utilize that service a couple years ago. Got a 80 mile tow for "free". Not sure if other companies provide this or not.

Can Spark plugs make a noticeable difference....r400

I've tried both and not felt a difference in my car. I know on blatchat some people really favor the BR7. -
I assume some of the structure will carry over from the Audi TT for cost savings/ease in homologation.

They have the EV 7 mule they've shown some. Hopefully they will release that as well. More options is never a bad thing imo. That said, I'm not holding my breath about the Project V actually coming to fruition.

Your Rivian is almost 3x the weight. If Caterham can achieve their goals, it seems like their EV could be lighter than the original Tesla roadster. I think that is the point - not 0-60 or charge times.

The 13" apollo rears are hubcentric on my car. Fronts are not.

How does this differ from a Millington Diamond?
