The original set up with red Konis is probably the most comfortable set up.

Do you already have the Chapman struts?

I'm buying a Chassis & shell soon.
The Chass is the same as when built in 69 does that confirm?

Probably best to post up some pics and ask the question when you get the chassis so we know what it is you have and what can be re used.

It also depends on whether you are looking for the original experience of the car, as per 1969, or if you want go go the resto mod route or part way to that.

All things being equal though the original set up is probably hard to beat, Lotus knew what they were doing.
