Hi all, thought i would put up a few pic's of my nitron suspension as it's fairly new to the market. I went for the nitron for a few reasons, it's made in the uk and tom Schirmer highly recommended it and is now using it instead of kw.
So far i am very happy with my choice it has transformed the car on track, although a big part of that is down to the way it has been fitted and set up by will at geoff steel racing, i can highly recommend them, top quality job and not too hard to pay:thumbs:

This the same as the stuff Dan's been using in the CSL cup?

Hmm... anyone fancy a full set of V3's? Hardly any use... :whistle:

Are they a full coilover conversion on the rear?

Look lovely, I'm waiting for the "ooh you're going to die in a horrible fireball it has coilovers on the rear" comments :D

Had Nitrons on a couple of previous cars and they were brilliant, guy and co certainly know what they are doing.

yes they are rear coilover, but they do both ( coilover, shock+spring) it's your choice.

:hahaha: the fireball sounds bad, should be ok till i get the half cage next year.
had a chat with guy about warranty and turn around time before ordering as this was a big problem with my last set of coilovers

get the Z3 reinforcement plates put on the rears. Will cost about £20 and take 20 minutes.:thumbs:

Nice looking gear

Leon was testing these a while back, got pretty good feedback and easier to adjust than most others too.

We've been running these and the Motons on the Cup cars, road kits work stunningly well.

Are they fitted correctly?, as your camber adjustment on the front looks like it adjusts front to back, rather than side to side???

I may be wrong

That adjustment is for the castor adjustment. The camber adjustment is made by loosening the top mount nuts (the 3x 13mm nuts) and sliding the top mount under the turret

I thought as much, they differ from my kw clubsport in that sense,

What anti roll bars are you using? do you find they improve cornering????

Have currently got the Nitron Sport 1 way adjustable set up on mine, with adjustable top plates on the front for camber and castor. We've have played around with a few setups so far and on Monday found a very good balance for track work, whilst still making it bearable for the road.

They performed very well for me at Silverstone and Oulton Park this week. :thumbs:

Sounds good Leon, not cheap but certainly a well made bit of kit :thumbs:

The anti roll bars are eibach , it's had to say as i went from completely standard suspension to the new setup(coilovers, arb's, rear camber arm's, poly rtab's,poly front and the geo) in one go. The difference was massive on track, little to no under steer and i can feel the limit at the rear a lot better

Did you get front and rear arb's? do they do different sizes? if so which size did you go for?

To hear you say your get no understeer is good news as that is what i want to get rid of.

I'm going to the States for business in the next couple of weeks so i think i will be bringing a few things back with me :thumbs:

yes front and rear, just the one size there is 2 or 3 settings on the front one, mine is at the softest for now. I said a little to no understeer, there was 2 corners i was getting a little at donny but getting on the gas earlier cured it. On the standard setup i was getting a lot off understeer and getting on the gas earlier just pushed it wider
