Nitron dampers with Eibach springs, 600lb fronts and 450lb on the rear.

Firm but not too harsh but blimey does she grip.

I think I may try Intrax next time round they are supposed to be very, very good.

Gaz Golds at the moment (and not impressed)

Just received some Ohlins to refurbish and fit

One set of Gaz Monos, very good on road and track, Eibavh 400/450

One set of Nitron 46mm Pros, absolute rubbish, Eibach 400/500

To be fair, after a lot of complaints their head research guy took them back and has revalved them.
Received them last week, no testing yet as engine out!

Protech Single Adjustable, excellent value, well under £500 when bought through Joolz. I chose to reuse my original springs to keep the price down.

Protech with 450 front springs and 400 rear. Bit harder than standard but not unpleasantly so.

Just ordered some Nitrons, got the 6 week wait now! Looking forward to feeling the difference, after a proper set up.

Out of interest, which spring rates have you got?

I've been looking at the pack from Powers (400 front, 350 rear I think) and would be interested in views on the rates included with that.

I got mine from power and sure that is my spring rates, would need to double check my paper work when home. The car is super on the worst roads even with spiders, very compliant and smooth, a few clicks extra and track performance is great as well, the car was set up by track v road and this made it all work.
