The standard Lotus Sport setup should be fine, but if it's got the optional Dynamics/Eibach damper & spring like I had on mine then you'll really want it backed off to fully soft for road use, otherwise on anything other than a smooth road you'll struggle to keep the power down. It's very very stiff! That said I used to go to Sainsburys in mine. :) It depends a bit on which suspension is fitted.

Have had my heart set on a 111S for some time and drove one last weekend - it was quick but not as exciting as I had hoped... I will be driving the new car daily although I only commute 6 miles each way to work. Really interested in the Sport 190 but is it too hardcore (in comparison with the more 'sedate' 111S) for regular use and better suited to track days and occasional blasts? Thanks for any advice you can offer Ben Hi Tim
