LeonB back in 2009-2010 had very similar issues and Nitron were all over the kit and car to sort it so youd think they should have got the data then!
It was superb service Shim, I can't fault the guys there at all, they seriously pulled out all the stops for me.

I was effectively told the kit would do a lot more than it actually does, the basic NTR Sport kit is realistically a kit designed for a standard ride height -10mm on a normal M3, not a CSL, I was told otherwise when I bought the kit, basically I was told it would lower the CSL up to 20-30mm which I now know the kit simply isn't designed to do, had I known this from the start I would have chosen the next kit up.

The old kit I had effectively is a adjustable shock with limited ride height adjustment, much more road biased, the spring / damper rates are very similar to the standard setup, you just get the additional rebound / compression combined adjustment, it's for people who want to retain a near standard ride height, obviously the shocks and valving are far superior to the standard shocks.
