edp Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 (edited) Hey guys! I placed an order for some suspension but they sent me a refund and stated no stock. Did you guys receive your suspension ok? Edited April 6, 2018 by edp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jovver Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 Not received the dampers or a refund yet. Ordered them on the 19th of March- I’m guessing they aren’t going to turn up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edp Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 Sorry to hear! I've also ordered the calipers so hoping I have better luck with those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitey Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 I ordered 4 x dampers and 2 x rear springs on 24th March and they all arrived together on 27th March, so if you ordered before then, they should have arrived - assuming Lotus process things in date order...............................!

Jovver Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 Hmm, that’s a bit worrisome...

My calipers came direct from lotus parts, further more, i made an offer for another couple of bits via mortorsport auctions motorsposrt auctions had to contact lotus to see if they could be sold at the reduced price.. which was declined...

edp Posted April 10, 2018 Report Share Posted April 10, 2018 Calipers and pads arrived ok, quite a saving over RRP! Ordered the front suspension again and got a refund straight away. Rear and springs seem to still be available. If anyone decides they don't need their new fronts please let me know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jovver Posted April 12, 2018 Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 (edited) Well my dampers still haven’t arrived from the 19th of March and neither Lotus nor Motorsport Auctions have bothered to respond to my emails. Kind of annoying as they were such a good price. Oh well, guess I’ll just have to start a Paypal dispute to get a refund.

Nelly Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 I got the calipers last summer, the car is going to have its service at Snows in Southampton on Friday. I asked them if they would fit them for me whilst the car was in but they politely declined - as they had not supplied the parts themselves. Something about having to offer a warranty due to some EU law. I can't really wait for Brexit so will have to find someone else - after my record on doing the brakes on my Esprit, I didn't want the Evora off the road for a long period of time when I make a balls up of it! Anyone had a dealer fit these for them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM C8RKH Posted April 30, 2018 Gold FFM Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 Sounds like complete and utter bollocks to me as if that was the case NO garage - dealer, independent or Kwik Fit would be able to do it. Don't forget that the same EU passed the laws to say that you could get your car serviced anywhere without forfeiting warranty as long as oem parts used - I take it you bought them from Lotus? If so, they are OEM and the warranty would be with the caliper manufacturer as the sale of goods act would not apply to the dealer as they did not sell you the goods. The only thing they would be liable for surely was the quality of their workmanship in fitting them. Sounds like my dealer in Edinburgh who said "no can do" to fitting DAB on my 410 Sport as it didn't come with it supplied, when Silverstone are activity promoting fitting the Alpine DAB to all 400 and 410's. Some dealers just can't be arsed to be honest.... Obviously in my humble opinion. Quote I came into this world screaming and covered in someone elses blood. I'll probably leave it in the same way.

Nelly Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 Yes I got them from Lotus via the Motorsports auction site. I also thought it was bollocks too but I can't force them! Lotus Silverstone crossed my mind as well after I got the call saying no can do. Fitted the DAB on the car myself, brakes though are not my strong point!, Hope you are enjoying your recent arrival!

Gold FFM C8RKH Posted May 1, 2018 Gold FFM Report Share Posted May 1, 2018 Yes thanks @Nelly. The 410 is superb. 1k service coming up. I do wonder about dealers sometimes. I get the feeling that they think they are doing you a favour rather than you paying them for a service. Quote I came into this world screaming and covered in someone elses blood.

Gold FFM andyj007 Posted May 6, 2018 Author Gold FFM Report Share Posted May 6, 2018 (edited) calipers swapped painted the wheel bolts in ford moondust silver, my default go to paint for that new galvaized bolt look. quite a transformation.. considering im contemplating selling the evora, it does seem a bit odd swapping the calipers, but I just couldn't stand looking at them in box wondering what they would look like on so got to it with the spanners. probably wasn't the best of ideas.. as they look damn fantastic not helping with my decision making.. I always ocd on my calipers and keep them looking sharp but what suprised me were , the original pads had only about 35% max wear on them. knew when i got my car it had a super easy life, the ECU printout told me that.. but i thought the pad would be a little more worn..

Gold FFM andyj007 Posted May 6, 2018 Author Gold FFM Report Share Posted May 6, 2018 (edited) thanks chap.. i thought my callipers looked a little lost in my graphite wheels, hence the change... no doubt yours were camouflaged quite nicely with the black rims lotta love for red calipers works particularly well with C- orange / black combo... i thought your car was yellow tho, that first pic you posted on march 28th makes it look so... shoukda read your username.. doh.... nice subtle flag on the wing.. like that . good work aj Edited May 6, 2018 by andyj007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Registered Posted May 6, 2018 Report Share Posted May 6, 2018 Looks good. Was the process easy in the end? Any difficult things to be aware of? Still haven't got round to fitting mine. What are you moving onto Andy if selling the Evora? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
