The suspension of the Elise 111R and Exige are similar, but the springs and dampers of the Exige  are stiffened to match the Yokohama A048 tyres with wider front wheels, and provide a more sporting ride/handling balance.
Owners of Elise 111R who wish to enjoy this type of characteristic can fit the Exige springs and dampers in conjunction with a vehicle set of Yokohama A048 tyres mounted on Exige wheels.
The Exige front wheel size is increased in width over the 111R from 5.5J to 6.5J, and the front tyre section increases from 175/55 to 195/50. Rear wheel and tyre sizes remain unchanged at 7.5J and 215/45 respectively.
Tyre pressures remain at 1.8 bar front, and 2.0 bar rear.


Wheel options are either:

Standard Exige cast alloy, 8-paired spoke, satin black painted, front 6.5J x 16, rear 7.5J x 17

or:

Lightweight forged alloy, 7-split spoke, satin silver painted, front 6.5J x 16, rear 7.5J x 17 
Each forged front wheel saves 2.4 kg over the cast Exige wheel, with a 2.7 kg saving for each rear wheel.


Note that using the wider wheel set and Yokohama A048 tyres on an otherwise standard car will 
increase grip levels over the original specification, but in order to enjoy the full benefit of these tyres, 
it is strongly recommended that only a complete vehicle set of wheels/tyres/springs/dampers are fitted.
It is also necessary to fit an edge finisher to the front wheelarches in order to maintain the legally required tread coverage when using the wider section front tyres.


Customers outside the U.K. should check the legality of this fitment with the appropriate authorities in their country of residence before purchase.
