I now have sold enough parts to have some money set aside for my next upgrade session.

I am going to get...

-widetrack front suspension (http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/motorsport/suspension-steering/caterham-widetrack-front-suspension-kit)

-quick steering rack (http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/motorsport/suspension-steering/caterham-alloy-quick-racks)

-new suspension (http://www.westermann-motorsport.com/shop/product_info.php?info=p68_NITRON--pro--Rennfahrwerk-1-way-MOG-Racing.html)

 

All i want to know is will all of these fit on my 2003 caterham S3 dedion? i think they all should but just wanna make sure before i order them.

Also for the sidetrack suspension they have roll bar options. 1/2in, 5/8in, 9/16in, and 18mm size roll bars. which would be best for street/track use?

A caution - the quicker the steering, the greater the effort req'd, and the more critical the caster setting. Less caster gives you lighter steering effort but at the cost of less directional stability, i.e., more attention is req'd to keep the car going straight on the highway.

If the car is a designated Track car then the quick rack is worth considering, if not leave it alone. Spend the money on CR500's or some "I must stop modifying my car pills"

Dan, My 2002 DeDion have 5/8 in, Red, DeDion sport anti roll bar in front and 1/2 in Superlight R in rear; Bilstein shocks with adjustable spring seat kit front and rear. I use the car on track and street both and works good. Tom

If you have clamshell front wings the wide track suspension may not fit under them. If you have cycle wings you may need to modify them.

I have a brand new Caterham wide track steering rack that I bought for my '97 S3 DeDion but never used. It cost $600 in 2008 and is described as "Rack LHD wide track 22%". It was sold missing one of the end pieces so you wld have to supply that. No idea if its "quick" rack or not. I thot the standard steering was amazingly quick. Happy to sell it for 1/2 cost of purchase + shipping. If interested, PM me.

 

I also have Karl's 4 virtually new Caterham super sport 15" wheels, gun metal gray, in perfect condition(I never used them, he put approx 700 miles on them). Happy to sell for reasonable price as well (For rain tire/track tires?).

I have the widetrack wishbones and coilovers from Karl's car, as well as the matching sway bar. Now not needed here if you are interested.
