Nitron Shocks for ExigeS2 - worth it ?

[AlistairCoker]

Further to my post yesterday, I have been advised my a reputable Lotus tuner not to bother setting up all the geo etc on the standard Bilstein's that come with the sport pack as he said it will still be too soft on track. I have no reason to doubt him but has anyone done the upgrade to 46mm Nitron shocks and is the difference over the standard set up worth the £2k outlay ?
Thanks

Thanks but please can you elaborate on that a bit - have you done this upgrade or know somweone that has ? Any more info much appreciated.
Thanks

I want something track biased, I believe the nitron 40mm are fast road and 1 way adjustable so is that really going to be much better than the bilsteins, not sure ? I guess these are still about 1400inc vat so is it not better to go the full hog and get the 3 way 46mm race pro's ? Confused.

Thanks for all the info. I went on the Nitron website again and yes it seems the 46mm I am being offered are clearly 1 way adjustabel and not 3 way. It looks like either the 40mm or 46mm are going to be a vast improvement. it seems the 40mm are about £1k and 46mm are £1.3k + VAT so that's the decision. Thanks for all you positive comments, seems like a no brainer. Bit annoyed I have just spent a lot on what I thought would be a "great" track car out of the box to find out it has more body roll than my mini AND my brothers old E46 M3 on standard shocks,,,,,not good Lotus :-((

having looked under the car the other night, my ARB is yellow and has 4 adjustment holes on it, I presume that it has already been uprated from standard - any idea what brand the yellow one is and if it is non-standard ?

Yep that sounds like it's the same, it's a pretty puny looking thing so no doubt that'll be the next upgrade after/alongside the Nitrons.
