So, the standard blancmange suspension has finally annoyed us enough to change it. I never was impressed with it, even from new.
However, we don't want to spend a fortune on dampers and springs, so I've sort of narrowed it down to an Apex kit. Our local independent specialist can fit it for £45+vat (honest!!), so we're talking all in, if it goes well, £265 fitted incl vat.
Would this be a good choice, bearing in mind if I want Caterham 7 levels of grip and handling I'll save for one!?

well if u want a 40mm apex kit buy the 60mm kit cos if does not sit anywhere near 60mm down. infact the rear on mine sat higher than my old 35mm springs kit. changed them for pi 60 mm rear springs and it sank down a lot.
