Have to admit that looks fantastic in black. The bit of colour from the stickers and the silver wing mirrors set it off nicely. Cerainly it's the first one that's made me want one!!

Sorry but I'd have to address the comedy ride height though. What is it sitting at, front looks really high, like 140mm+ high? Does it come with adjustable platforms on there?
If you need to go even faster, just imagine you are me.

Had a quick measure today, looks to be about 120/125 at the front. Afraid no adjustment, will see how it goes before make any spend.

I was running around 90-95 on the front in race trim.. No idea where it sits now... basically said to Craig that it needs to go over speed bumps every day so set it to whatever it needs to be at.. Don't get dragged into the "it has to be low to work" mindset.. I did last time round and ended up having to change my front clamshell as a result.

As a side note, I always measured mine from the chassis to the ground just behind the front lower wishbone. The spitter will most likely be lower due to the rake angle of the chassis. Think Lotus normally have the rear of the car 5mm higher, could be more..
Well it moves... might as well make the most of it....

Having run 100 / 105 (340r geo) on previous cars I won't be lowering mine that low again. Pain in the bottom for day to day cross country drives or speed hump commuting. My Cup 250 is 120/125 measured from the chassis centres back and front. So far it just clears the speed humps at airports and parks. I've caught my front splitter on the ramps into carparks twice now. My previous Elise S had sport pack so same dampers & adjustable ARB. Theirs quite a bit of soft roll when in track tbh. So stopping the roll but not lowering it would be my only preference for track days.

Also the road AD07 have quite soft side walls... my Cup came with sticky rubber and the side walls are notably stiffer in comparison giving a firmer ride / less roll through corners.

Worth noting that while the chassis is 120/125... the aero kit actually makes it 113 / 118 due to the kit sitting lower than the chassis. The aero kit thickness varies between 5-10mm at different cross sections
