Question Nitron Shocks?

Hi guys,

I'm thinking about to make a move from stock suspension to 2/3 way coilovers. I know JRZ or Moton will be a good ideal, but they are also quite expensive. And I saw Nitron shocks R3 on Ballade sport, seems like these are nice product. Cannot find any reference, and have never heard of this brand. I searched on google, but there are a lot of threads were talking about bike suspensions. Also find that they are pretty popular in UK, especially in Lotus world.
Any bro here heard or experienced of their product?

Yea, I think so. But, $3,899 is kind of attractive price for a set of 3 way coilovers, isn't it?

What's your use case? It will be difficult to justify 3 way adjustable shocks (and 2 way, to a lesser extent) if you aren't tuning your car to chase tenths or hundredths at the local track (in which case, you're probably in the wrong subforum). If you tell us why you want to change your suspension, we can make recommendations. For example, if all you're interested in is the cheapest 3 way adjustable shocks, there are a set of KSport coilovers listed on Evasive's site for about the price of Ohlins DFV/R&T. They have ludicrously stiff springs and will likely handle worse than Ohlins in almost every scenario and probably don't really have much in the way of useful adjustments in each of the three ways, but you'll have three knobs to turn if that's what you value most.

IDK how important it is WHY the OP wants 3 way shocks.

He/she is just asking if someone has experience with Nitron 3 ways.

I suppose, however, its a bit of a strange question to ask, "How is xxx brand of shock". If one did have enough experience to actually set up a 3 way shock...or an application that needed 3 way shocks, the subject should be easy to ACTUALLY research subjectively.

Either way...not my money or headache.
