Seems pretty steep ! Source the parts from @Seriouslylotusand you can upgrade to larger discs and better pads while also saving some money. https://www.seriouslylotus.com/braking/exige-v6-343mm-upgrade-alcon-front-brake-disc-rota-s Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They were though good on track ! Edited November 19, 2020 by Tex Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know it’s been covered before but it really is a pretty weak design. Looks like a trip back to the dealer !!! Main point really was to establish a thread for the foibles on a new Lotus. I had air bag delete which included the harness brace, but it would appear the plastic cover behind seats gets removed showing all manner of Cables. I was assured this was normal but would appreciate views on this. Looks a bit naff really but maybe it is the only solution Also Really would have liked the switchable exhaust button, as on my 380 and will look to see if this can be retro fitted. Will up date again once I retrieve my luggage and start to enjoy the car for the reasons I bought it. Is it true that if you opt for the harness bar, it's the dealership that has to install it after the car has been registered, and that the part is sold as "track only" from Lotus ?

The full A frame harness bar that comes with the pack is factory fitted. You then apply for the Schroth harnesses post sale which your dealer supplies. I know some folks opt for the half harness which is a dealer fit or whoever you prefer to Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tex 217 Posted Monday at 14:20 Author Report Share Posted Monday at 14:20 Had these new wheels delivered and just applied C5 Gtechniq ceramic wheel armour. Good product and easy to apply. Rears weigh in at 20.9kg on Cup 2s with Fronts at 16.4kg. My identical original OEM’s are 21kg and 16.5kg on worn Cup 2’s though Will keep these for just road use now.
