The suspension system is a typical unequal length double wishbone link system with anti-pitch characteristics.  The front spring damper is mounted directly between the chassis and the lower wishbone and the rear spring damper uses a pull rod and rocker arm arrangement.  Suspension kinematics were analysed using Lotus Engineering Software, LESoft. To reduce mass, steel wishbones have been replaced with carbon fibre tubes bonded to a steel or aluminium apex.  Tie/track rods and rear pull rods have been made with the same mandrel wound carbon fibre tubes for the same reason. Shock absorber used for the front suspension was a Manitou Evolver ISX1 and for the Rear FOX Float R shocks were used. The air spring damper offers an 860g weight saving for the front suspension alone and about 896kg for the rear suspension.
There is no camber adjustment for the front.  Rear camber adjustment is performed through shims on the lower wishbone and tie rod brackets on the upright.   Ride height adjustment at the front is obtained through pre-load adjustment of the spring.   The rear pull rods as well as spring pre-load permit ride height adjustment at the rear.
