I doubt you guys have seen these on an S before!

Nitron Tracks

Very popular with Lotus, TVR and Ferrari owners over here!





End Result!

You dont see them much outside the UK.
Very light and on a par with Ohlins.

It is best if the coilover can adjust preload especially to slam a car.

A non preload adjustable coilover can distort the spring rate if the springs were overly compressed from severe lowering. The ride result will be a really horrible ride and shorten shock life.

I think the OP should state the budget limit on a set of coilovers. Coilovers can go from $800 to $5000+.

Can't give you feedback on Bilstein, don't sell them and never rode on them before..However I recall they do not come with upper pillow mounts?

Steve's right about the preload and the Bilsteins need pillow mounts. Though many high end ones do, my Nitrons were the same.

Several of the UK owners have Bilsteins and talk very highly of them.

I have the Tein flex with the EDFC, and I like the way they handle and I can change the dampening in milliseconds from the drivers seat. I don't know why there where more negative posts about these, since most people adding the posts have never even tried the TEINs before.
