Although I'm not familiar at all with the roads in the UK, it's creating knowing that your setup is very street compliant.

I have gotten into endless debates with people on other forums stating that high end dampers like Nitron can be very street friendly with the right spring rates. Yet a few still don't want to believe me....haha

Thanks for the update

So would you say the Nitrons are more road compliant than the Intrax were.

I had same springs on both. I'd say yes, just. Nitrons seem to be just a little less harsh although I did to test all the Nitrons setting yet.

Are you keeping the Nitrons on for a little longer or going back to Intrax.

I've swapped back to Intrax now that my rear dampers have been serviced. Two reasons:

1. If I sell the Nitrons I will get more cash back as they are better built and newer.

2. after 4 years with Intrax I am too lazy to go through the learning curve again on track especially as they are the better 2 way dampers and you need to be clever enough to understand the adjustments.

I'll clean them up at the weekend and put them up for sale soon after.

The Nitron were picked up today and now have gone to a better sunnier home. I honestly believe that with some set up time they would be a better road damper and maybe as good a track damper as Ik2, it's just I is skint and haven't got the time to muck around with it.

Enjoy!
