Caterham CSR shock dimensions

Hi there,

 

New to this forum, joining you from South Africa.

 

I am trying very hard to find out the physical dimensions for front and rear Caterham CSR shocks. I have tried Caterham directly with no success... their response is:

"Unfortunately this is proprietary information and I do not have the authorisation to release this."

 

Really?? Bad customer service, seeing as I have a CSR chassis on order from them!

 

The reason behind needing this information is the CSR will be built as a race car to replace an SV. We have 3 SV's we race and have done extensive testing and development on Spax shocks, and as such we'd like to stick with what we know. Spax are also unable to help!

 

Caterham do sell 'race' shocks, but the are not adjustable, which doesn't help me!!

 

Can anyone help me with the following dimensions:

Open Length

Closed Length

Stroke

Spring thread

Spring poundage (I haven't tried asking Caterham this)

Spring diameter

 

Many thanks!

Neill.

Welcome to USA7's

 

Unfortunately I am not sure you will get a good answer from anyone here as I don't think anyone on this forum has a CSR. I understand there are only 6 in the USA. Not that many given the size of the country.

 

However, your best bet maybe to post here:

http://www.csr7.com/

 

Click on the forum link and sign up and post a message there. It is fairly quiet - maybe only 20-30 members in total. Also the site operator, Darren, seems a really nice guy and may answer an email you send him, especially if you explain that you have a CSR on order.

 

I am sort of surprised Caterham refused to answer given you are a past and current customer?

 

Cheers
