Hello,

I have the sport suspension with 2,100 miles. I live in NYC and with our disastrous roads, I much prefer the touring suspension from my previous car. The only swap needed are the springs/dampers, and adjustment to camber (which is more likely tire-related)

If you have touring but would like to swap with my sport suspension, please DM me.

Thank you,
Stephen

According to this extract from the interview below there's a few more things to do to swap from sport to touring.

Absolute Lotus magazine
Ever wondered why the Lotus Emira has two fixed suspension options rather than a switchable set-up commonly found in other cars?
Gavan Kershaw, Director of Attributes at Lotus told us: "Having the ability to offer Tour and Sports chassis options allows for separation in the chassis to allow the customer to have a specification better suited to their usage and driving preference. This means that each option can change the feel of the car, but retains the character.
"In addition, our two suspension configurations are not just spring and damper changes but are also changes to bushes, bumpstops and geometry. It is currently impossible to change those elements on a variable suspension mode at the press of a button."
This is just part of the interview by Mike Rysiecki on the Emira's design and development. The whole thing is available in Issue 41, in the shops now or available with free p&p here – https://www.performancepublishing.co.uk/octobernovember...

There are no parts in the catalogue that are labeled sport/tour other than the springs and dampers. I think the bushes and bump stops being mentioned are included as part of the spring/damper assembly. The geometry is likely the camber difference between the two, which can be manually adjusted.
