Ok pics as promised.

Dixon @ DMS has been working with Nitron for me on the coilver front, and has come up with something quite exciting Custom spring rates and valving.

Some seized bushes at the front so they are going to be polybushed. Hardrace rear arms going on too

Going to be exciting! Thanks Dixon

Those coilovers look mighty fine! I was looking at a set of these before my super cheap pogo sicks came up... What would a set like this set me back? 2 way or 3 way?

The one we got him is custom made from Nitron with custom springs rate and valving, if you look at the bottom of the shocks you will notice they now using the Japanese 2 way adjustment design so you can adjust the springs load and height separately instead of setting up the ride height from the springs preload.

The spec is very similar to the one they made for a well known Japanese tuning company, I am not sure if I can mention the name yet I will need to confirm this with Nitron. They did a back to back testing with the own spec kit made by Crux and the result was 1.2sec quicker at Tsukuba with the Nitron.

Raz, rates are very firm is all I will say!

CG, i'd give Dixon a call.

Mikey, these are a bit of a special job. Note the helper springs. There's something interesting on the adjusters too!

Ah Dixon beat me to it

Will be interesting to see how these perform over the Tein stuff I had. I have lots of track footage to compare against, and a consistently average driver as a benchmark

Although my car will be a bit different to the last one with the diff and wing mods.
