I'm a newbie (Tuscan S)and I've seen mention of Nitrox Shocks and met a Tuscan owner at the club meet in Lymm who was raving about them. I beleive the shocks are adjustable. How easy is this? Will this after market MOD affect the manufacturers warranty? What difference to the ride do they make? What sort of costs? Who's the best fitter - I'm in NW England?

TIA.

As you have a Tuscan S it will already have improved dampers & springs from the standard earlier models so you might not notice such a big difference in ride as someone upgrading theres on an earlier model, although I would suspect the quality of the dampers has not improved and you will be looking a replacements after two years and the price of the Nitrons is only a bit higher than the factory OE at about 990 GBP.

I switched to Nitron dampers & springs when the car was over two years old so no warranty issues, it may be worth checking with your dealer if your car still is under warranty.

The damping adjusters are quiet easy to get at, the rear units are mounted inverted so the adjusters are at the bottom of the suspension unit, the fronts are a bit more difficult and require the steering to be on full lock to enable you to reach the adjuster on the top of the suspension unit.

Best to contact Joolz at www.joospeed.net/ for more details.
