WTCC Lacetti Suspension

[Audacity Racing]

For a long time I was baffled by the suspension on the WTCC Lacetti. I assumed that since KW was the sponsor all over teh car, they they made the coil-over kit for the Lacetti... turns out they only make they springs.


The true manufacturer of the dampers is Ohlins. The damper in question is a "universal" touring car damper...



After adding a small heat shield to the reservoir and clocking it to upright, you can see how it goes into the WTCC car. Here is a shop drawing from the actual WTCC car...



I'm still searching for a good enough picture of the WTCC car to show the base... in almost all the GM technical pictures there rotor is in the way.

Also note, it's the same damper front and rear
