peter_england99 6 Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Hi, has anyone installed the Ramspott & Brant ' Suspension kit- S-350' shocks and springs (Order-Nr.: 10728 http://www.ramspott-brandt.de/ section 'Esprit 1988 onwards-Suspension')? If yes, I'd appreciate your feedback. If possible could you also share what spring rates you installed? These shocks & springs look very similar to www.pukesprit.de 'Fully adjustable suspension Type S-350' in the Chassis-Suspension section. Regards, Peter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bibs 11,407 Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Personal I'd avoid the retailer based on previous experience. Nitron, who make the suspension for the Exige V6 Cup (and also Bloodhound!) are developing some Esprit suspension. If I were you, I'd hang on for that or go with the Lotus Billy/Eibach setup 1 Quote 88 Esprit NA, 89 Esprit Turbo SE, Evora, Evora S, Evora IPS, Evora S IPS, Evora S IPS SR, Evora 400, Elise S1, Elise S1 111s, Evora GT410 Sport Evora NA For forum issues, please contact the Moderators.

Günter 28 Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 as often said - PUK is a friend of Steffen & Olaf, so that's why you can find the same offers in both shops ..main difference is the listed price, as the German tax rate is not listed in the same way.

peter_england99 6 Posted July 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Thanks for the advice/comments. I'd also really like to get some feedback from people who have actually installed the Ramspott & Brant ' Suspension kit- S-350' kit. Regards, Peter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CharlieC 2 Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Hi Peter, I've got that set although when I bought it it wasn't sold as being developed for the S-350. The springs are from KW who are considered to be pretty good. Here's their site - http://www.kwsuspensions.co.uk/home/ I don't recall the spring rate off the top of my head but will take a look and update this post over the weekend. Important to know is that one of the shocks was shot shortly after the 3 year warranty expired. I wouldn't re-buy this set for that reason. Its not like I'm doing silly miles, track days or weigh as much as Günter. I think Bibs comment about the retailer is also worth taking into account. If I were re-newing now I'd go for absolute quality rather than adjustability. They are fun to mess about with but I'm not sure the longevity is there. In fact with this set I know its not.

peter_england99 6 Posted August 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 Hi Charlie, Thanks for posting your experience. I've decided to stay clear of them and get the Lotus parts. Now just dependent of Lotus' supply times. Regards, Peter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
