Spitfire Toe Link Kit for Elise/Exige - Cross Brace Type Kit
Regular price $799.00
ELISE 111R/EXIGE - Cross Brace Fit
For the ultimate strength and durability, we feel this is the best kit on the market.
DESIGN
The basic philosophy behind our toe links as with all of our products is to design and manufacture the components to the highest specification possible by utilising only the highest grades of aluminium alloys, specifically 7068 and 7075. A4-80 high tensile stainless steel and 316 stainless sheet for bracket work.
Components are precision machined in house, aluminium components are beautifully finished in hard anodising to a display finish both for protection and aesthetics. All kits come fully assembled and pre set with the correct bump steer shims where this information has been supplied by the customer, otherwise we use the Lotus recommended initial bump steer setting for the kit type. The kits are also correctly orientated and soft locked to help reduce both fitting errors and the fitting time as much as possible.
The kits are designed to last the life of the car,* they are built from superior materials and better protected than the car itself. The kits are the lightest for their strength, ultimately the strongest, the stiffest and easily the most durable.
Throughout the design we have used good engineering practices, increasing the overall strength of the mechanical system by interlocking components where possible. All fasteners are top quality CE certified and traceable stock, 10.9 specification BZP bolts have been tested for hydrogen embrittlement.
Many kits have options which effect the overall strength of the kits, this is why we would prefer you contact us prior to purchase with details of your particular usage and exact model but please note ALL kits are 100% track capable.
Detailed, comprehensive and clear fitting instructions are supplied, this includes a tool list and general advice regarding the safety issues.
RODS
The toe link rods are precision machined from solid 7075 and hard anodised to a display finish in a beautiful Titanium colour. The result is an extremely light, very strong and very stiff tube with superb corrosion resistance.
Bearings
The bearings are the heart of any kit as they control both the reliability and the longevity both of which directly influence the true cost of the kit over time**. To extend bearing service life as much as possible we designed the bearings ourselves specifically for this application*** and had them made by one of the industries few quality manufacturers using friction technology from their aerospace range, they have a proven track record of unsurpassed reliability and longevity and out perform any off-the-shelf bearing, this includes NMB, Fluro, Aurora, et al.
Quite simply, the bearings are the most reliable of any kit, OE or aftermarket and due to their proven service record we offer a 3 year warranty with our bearings.
The bearings are supplied with fitted nitrile boots for protection.
COLLETS
Machined to very high tolerances to match the receiver sections on the uprights and the subframe, they allow for greater adjustment range than the standard OE components. Made from either 7068 or 7075 aluminium alloy or A4-80 as appropriate.
Designed to resist the continuous compression/tension cycles of the heaviest track use without issue or fatigue for the life of the car, they are both very light and very strong. All our collets accurately match the forms that they mate against and allow for greater adjustment than the standard OE components allow. Collets are inserted where possible to increase strength and to avoid movement under shear loads. The collets also present an effective seal face for the nitrile boots.
