This week I received a "trackday package" consisting of Avo shocks and springs for my SLR designed and developed by Freestyle Motorsports. Freestyle does the suspension work on some of the very fastest 7s in the UK and Germany. The principals of the company both studied suspension engineering at University and between them have worked directly for Caterham for 10-15 years total before striking out on their own.
My 7 is transformed after a practice day and an autocross to sort it out a bit. I especially thank David L for his behind the wheel diagnosis of what to do to improve the handling. The turn in is now instant and the car is both faster and easier to drive. For me that also equates to even more fun. Finding the limits of the car just got easier!
I am still to receive a few more items and would like to consolidate them with another buyer(s) to better deal with the high cost of freight. Len informs me that a "bulk buy" is possible if we can get some orders together. Those of you still using the factory supplied set-ups could improve the handling of your cars a huge amount, in my opinion.
Even if you have no interest I suggest that you visit their website www.freestylemotorsports.com Please respond right here if you are interested to know more about participating in a "bulk buy". I will make no profit from this and my sole motivation is improve the handling of any bulk buy participants 7s so that we can all have more pleasure driving our cars.
I would not have believed that springs and adjustable shocks would alter and improve the drivability of my car to the degree that I experienced this weekend. But, I did buy them with the idea of reducing body roll and the terminal understeer which has plagued my autocross efforts. The results have exceeded my expectations and we'll probably do more playing to get it even better. 8)
