Too complex for 7

Without a clear view of the shocks on the Seven chassis, I can't tell if they are adjustable or not. I would guess that they are adjustable and along with spring perch changes can alter the suspension for various handling needs at different tracks.

 

Perhaps the owner of the car can shed some light on the subject.

Still, it is a very trick setup and much simpler than the Lambo. And we all know "simple is good".

 

Just to clarify, the photos I posted are from the Caterham CSR chassis demonstrator that currently sits in their showroom and is clear of all plumbing/radiator/etc. The shocks are the ones that come on the CSR Superlight. They are the "Dynamic Suspensions" Damper units developed by Multimatic for the car and are fully adjustable. Apparently you can even pump in/remove oil from the reservoir to change the damping effect (not that I plan to worry about this with the odd track day!) The regular CSR gets adjustable Nitrons.

ahhhh, forget about those sausage links.

i will fit 4 big dampers on my seven--just to scare the zhyte out people at the car show...probably better than any suspension geometry
